2006-03-08 to 2006-03-10 · Southern Cascade Foothills, Washington

Wider weather episode

A strong Pacific storm and associated cold front brought relatively late winter conditions to southwest Washington. Snow totals from this event ranged from a tenth of an inch to a few inches in lowlands to between 2 and 4 feet of new snow in the Willapa Hills, Cascades, and Cascade Foothills. Coincidentally, this snow event was one of the latest of the year seen in the Vancouver area, and forced many school closures around the area.
