| The Northwest Weather and Avalanche Center maintains the most comprehensive real-time mountain weather data network in the US. It includes snowpack, wind, temperature and precipitation telemetry data as well as weather forecasts for the Northwest Cascades and Olympic mountains from fall through spring. Telemetry data is sampled hourly and the links below reflect data collected in the past 24 hours. It is helpful to compare precipitation to temperature at a given elevation to reveal rain vs. snow accumulation. Please click on an area of interest, or mouse over link to load graphic plot. |

| If a picture is worth a thousand words, what is a live snow camera worth? Well, about 45,000 bytes, which is roughly 9000 words. Unfortunately, search engines do not care about pictures. So, localsnow.org and its brand, localsnow.com have to insert descriptive text like this to provide something to for them to index. |
| Localsnow.org is a resource for mountain pass conditions, Northwest weather conditions, with links to ski resorts and hiking trails in the Pacific Northwest. Our goal is to provide an uncluttered view
of mountain weather conditions, largely through the viewport of the snow cameras.
Living more or less below the jet stream we know that mountain conditions can change quickly. Use localsnow.org for local snow and highway conditions, orogenic precipitation details, and mountain conditions in the Pacific Northwest. In addtion to resort snow cameras, mountain highway cams, hourly satellite images, current pass conditions, weather and snow pack telemetry, we are now producing hourly temperature and precipitation graphs for several areas, allowing hour-by-hour tracking of snow and temperature for the past 24 hours or more. |
| Localsnow.com and localsnow.org provide live camera feeds and links to area ski resorts as well as summer hiking, mountain biking, trail conditions published by the US Forest Service. We cover the Cascade Mountains of Washington, Oregon, British Columbia, and the northern Rockies of Alberta, Idaho, Montana, and the Sierra of California. If you can't make it in the winter season, you might try volcano skiing and boarding on Mt Hood in the summer. We do. |
