Piles of snow




There's so much snow at Mt. Rainier that they are stacking it up in front of the main camera.
How much, officially? As of today, they have gotten 653 inches of snow at Paradise on Mt. Rainier since last July, and there are 225 inches of snow on the ground.
So they have already passed the annual average, 641 inches, with almost three months to go. In that same time period last year, the mountain received 137 more inches.
At the end of June we'll know the  annual total and more  about what is happening to the glaciers on Mt. Rainier.
