SPOKANE, Wash- The Spokane area saw record low temperatures and even a little bit of snow Tuesday morning, and all just 11 days before the official start of summer.
Much of the Inland Northwest remained under a snow warning from the National Weather Service Tuesday morning. KHQ received calls from people in Reardan, Moscow, Pullman, Loon Lake, Airway Heights, Deary, Spokane's South Hill, and Deer Park who all say they saw snow Tuesday morning.
According to the National Weather service, Spokane's low temperature dipped all the way down to 36 degrees. A trace of snow was also recorded at the airport.
Forecasters expected 5 to 10 inches of wet snow above the 3,500-foot level Tuesday morning in the Cascades with lesser amounts down to 2,500 feet. A Transportation Department spokesman said it's been about 30 years since a snowplow has had to clear Stevens Pass in June.
In Port Orchard, on the west side of Washington, South Kitsap High School had to cancel classes today because of a power outage. It's one of about 6,000 Puget Sound Energy customers in Kitsap County that lost service in Monday night's windstorm.
Other record low-maximums Monday were 54 at Hoquiam and 54 at Bellingham.
We’re all going to die!
since I already know I’m not gonna get anything but pain out of this election, more or less, the one thing I’m most hoping for is the weather in D.C. 1/20/09 to be -7 F, 25 mph wind whipping directly into the face of the new President as he gives his inaugural and heavy snow the night before to keep the crowds at home.
Are you also wishing the new CIC get a very bad case of pneumonia & die? :)
It is 105 in West Texas today. I would welcome the snow.
Damn global warming.
I remember as a child it snowed in Spokane during June while we were visiting.
Yeah, albore! Now explain to us again about global warming. With snow falling in June, it’s really very hard to think about global warming.
abdication would be better— depends on VP though; I’d settle for Mitch McConnell .
Where’s Al Gore?
In the late 40s I got hit with 8” of snow in the Sierras in late July.
PNW cold weather

Thanks for the ping. The upside is that it’s been gentle on the HVAC budget. It’s been warm enough not to turn the heat on, and cool enough not to use the A/C. Also didn’t need to turn the landscaping sprinklers on until this week, saving on the water bill. Maybe this’ll help offset the price of gas.
