Children won't know what less than 500 inches of snow looks like

Reader D. Bishop writes:

Mt. Bachelor ski area in central Oregon hit a seasonal snowfall of 500" (so far), compared with the average of 387".
 
The forecast is for more snow through the weekend.
 
Flashback:
 
2005 ----  "The West's snow resources are already declining as the climate warms."
 
I wish I had kept a screen shot; after last season, the Mt. Bachelor website had this quote:
"Mt. Bachelor recorded 665 inches of snow this La Nina season, besting the previous record of 606 inches set during the similar La Nina winter of 1998-1999."
