The snow level this weekend in Western Washington dropped to levels that are “definitely not normal” and rain and hail hammered the region.
According to the National Weather Service, a cold front moved into Western Washington Friday. With it came several inches of snow in the mountains at higher elevations and rain and thunderstorms in the lowlands.
Things should dry out by Monday, with temperatures returning to at or near normal. By Tuesday, we could see temperatures once again in the 70s.
For the meteorologist or weather watcher, it was a great day to "Breathe" in the cool air and watch "The Great Gig in the Sky" as "Time" went by. No "Money" required. And that sunset, well, it was "Any Colour You Like". 🎸#wawx pic.twitter.com/DXKaAfnO6a

Well, it’s definitely Juneuary at Paradise (elevation about 5500′) on Mount Rainier. The mountain is not out from that location. Estimating about 4 inches of new snow has fallen. ☃️ in June #wawx pic.twitter.com/zuBRFcTfb1
