[pct-l] Oregon SNOTEL data... what's up?

[The Incredible Bulk]

According to the NWS, an upper level low is passing north of of OR.  There
is supposed to be some rain associated with the system in OR.  This is
probably why the reporting stations are indicating cooler temperatures.  In
fact, I saw a report earlier this week calling for a chance of snow on the
crest.  I think it was in the Sierra, but I can't be sure now - I am having
a senior moment.

It is also much cooler, the last few days, here in the LA basin.  I like it,
and we should enjoy it while we can.  Fall brings Santa Anas, high temps and
fire danger.
