...SNOW RETURNS TO THE SOUTH WASHINGTON AND THE NORTH AND CENTRAL
OREGON CASCADES THIS WEEK...

Snow will begin falling in the Cascades tonight and continue at
times through Friday as snow levels lower to near the Cascade
passes and as showers spread onshore later tonight and Wednesday 
in the wake of a Pacific cold front.

Snow amounts could exceed a foot at the higher elevations of the
Cascades through Friday, above 6000 feet or so, with perhaps 
nearly 2 feet at the highest elevations. Amounts in the passes 
will be much less, though a couple of inches of accumulation are 
possible daily Wednesday through Friday.

The snow will make many outdoor activities hazardous this week,
including mountain climbing, hiking, as well as hunting. Be
prepared for winter driving conditions through the Cascades this
week, carrying traction devices and extra food and provisions.
