With all the snow, we wanted to see what the pass looked like... it'd been a while, and we figured that SOME of it was gone - the pass only got a dusting from the snow earlier today (which gave us 6 inches), but we went up there to see it anyway.

When we got up to the exit to Summit, we were not disappointed!

The snow was stacked pretty high... and the main road, normally several lanes wide, was reduced to 2.

The snow had about buried the Family Pancake House, and the hotel it's a part of...

This car was deeply buried in the snow...

So much snow had piled up on the car, that it was crushing the roof...

 
It was a nice, wintry scene, though!

 

It was odd to us that there weren't more people up there skiing... and the lifts were stopped... maybe there was an avalanche danger, or something, but it seemed that folks were passing up a GREAT day to ski!

 
On the way back down, we had a GREAT view of the start of the Snoqualmie Valley... which is part of why we like to make the drive up there now and again!

While it had been sunny on the Pass, it was snowing where we live... and pretty heavily! It's funny how the weather can be so different only a few miles away.
