[pct-l] Any idea what level of snowpack there is in Oregon and WA this year? 120% of average, 85% of average etc.

There are a lot of web sites that will give you this information.  Try
doing a web search on "Washington snowpack".  Here are two links that
offer a quick summary:

Precipitation compared to average:

Snow water content compared to average:
http://www.wrcc.dri.edu/snotelanom/snotswe.gif


It appears that in general, Oregon is about 100% of average and
Washington is about 120% of average in terms of inches of precipitation.
However, the snow on the ground has about 120% to 150% of average water
content, which is important when you're predicting melt rates.
