Is NOAA snow data messed up?
I hiked Hardesty Mt today - to the summit, and there was 0 snow - not even a patch - anywhere. But the NOAA data shown on GaiaGPS is wrong - really wrong!
I walked thru that blue section.
Anybody else with this issue? I can't trust this data.

Quick up / down Hardesty Mt goatbells.blog?p=676
Hardesty Mt trail is the oldest trail in this USFS district best for grey, cloudy days or when you need a hill to kick your butt.
1 human, 1 dog and trees - MTB's should avoid; if you must - use upper TH and take Eula Ridge
