Snow in July??? In the High Cascades, it's not exactly common, but it isn't rare either. In fact, it may happen this… Posted by US National Weather Service Portland Oregon on Friday, July 8, 2016

According to the National Weather Service, a blob of cold moisture is forecasted to coat the upper peaks of the Cascades in white this weekend. So far forecasts are calling for up to 3″ of snow at elevations above 6,500′ and 12″ above 10,500. If those forecasted totals show up, Timberline’s Palmer Snowfield (6,200′-9,300′) could get a much-needed mid-summer refresh!
