As the rest of us west coasters can attest to, there's a severe lack of precipitation this winter. Up in Vancouver, it means there's very little snow on the local mountains and the ski hills are primarily at 50% operation with artificial snow. There isn't a lot of snowpack which could mean a water shortage if we have another hot summer. It's not common here on the Wet Coast but it's definitely an issue. The poor people down in Oregon and California are having a proper drought with red alerts for forest fires in January and who knows what'll happen during the hot season. Scary times ahead of there's not a huge dump of snow soon...
Mt. Baker is the only local mountain with a good amount of snow and that's in Washington state. And it's a glacier.
