...PRELIMINARY SNOWFALL SINCE THURDAY MARCH 23RD...

A broad low-pressure system from the Gulf of Alaska trekked south into
the Pacific Northwest Thu, Mar 23 through Sat, Mar 25, 2023. This low
brought moderate to heavy snowfall to the Coast Range and Cascades. As
the cold front associated with this low passed through the region, snow
levels fell below 500 ft, resulting in isolated areas of low-elevation
snow in the Willamette Valley.
