Mt. Hood Snow Forecast
It’s a snowy start to Thursday on Mt. Hood, and light snowfall will continue for the extended forecast period. The snow level will stay low through the first half of next week, after which it will climb enough to impact snow quality. But that’s not really surprising; the extended run of cold, snowy weather is a bit unusual for Mt. Hood!
For Thursday, we’ll have flurries during the day and steadier snow after 4pm. The snow level will be 1000′ early, 2500′ in the afternoon, and 0′ after 10pm. We’ll see a trace of snow during the day and .3-.4” water value overnight, for 4-5” of fluffy powder. Wind will be SW 25030 in the morning, SSE 15-20 in the afternoon, and WSW 30 after midnight.
Friday starts with steady snow and tapers off to lighter intermittent snowfall. The snow level will be 0′ early, 1500′ in the afternoon, and 0′ overnight. About .4” WV falls during the day, for 4-5” of powder. Another .2” falls overnight, for a couple more inches. Wind will be WSW 30-35 in the morning, SW 15 in the afternoon, and SE 10 overnight.
Saturday sees a mix of sunbreaks and light snowfall with steadier light snowfall overnight. The snow level will be 0′ early, 1500′ in the afternoon, and 0′ after midnight. About .2” WV falls during the day, for 2-3” powder. Another .3” WV falls overnight, for 3-4” powder. Wind will be light and variable all day and W 15-20 overnight.
Sunday looks mostly cloudy with intermittent light snowfall and up to an inch or two of new snow.
Random Morning Thoughts
I have a very exciting day off planned: skate skiing and digging. I therefore give myself permission to not reflect upon anything this morning. You can choose to reflect upon something if you like. May you be well. Have an awesome day.
Disclaimer required by my grad school program: I am not your therapist, but I am seeing clients at this time at Comprehensive Healthcare in White Salmon. In the meantime, I am your weather forecaster. Take everything I say with a grain of salt, and consult with your actual therapist about your mental health issues. One other thing: I plan to keep doing this forecast indefinitely. Forecasting and counseling are both deeply meaningful and nourishing to me.

Road and Mountain Biking
Well, so much for mountain biking season! Everything is covered in snow and will likely stay that way for a while. Syncline might be an option, but with the freeze-thaw happening, you’ll do some serious trail damage if you ride there.
Upcoming Events
There’s free meditation at Trinity Natural Medicine at 6:15am. There’s free yoga at 8am at Flow. That’s followed by $5 Tai Chi at the Hood River Adult Center at 2:30, community yoga at 6pm at Samadhi in White Salmon, and free Tai Chi at Our Savior Church in Bingen at 6:30. At 7am on Friday, there’s the Kickstand Coffee Run, where jogging or walking 4 miles gets you a free cup of coffee and a donut.
