What the National Weather Service wrote

Twenty inches accumulated snowfall was reported in Skamania.

The wider storm

Another strong Pacific system brought more snow to the already snow-laden southwest Washington Cascades. This storm was particularly strong and very cold, resulting in low elevation snow as well, with snow accumulations reported in the Columbia River Gorge. Multiple school closures occurred and were contributed to hazardous road conditions after snowfall blanketed many roads.
