...Heavy snow possible above 5500 feet Wednesday...

.A strong frontal system is expected to bring heavy snow to the
Cascades and Siskiyous above 5500 feet on Wednesday. Low pressure
moving along the front as it arrives may enhance snowfall near the
low and lessen snow elsewhere. Thus, while there is the potential
for significant snowfall on Wednesday, especially as the front and
associated low pressure passes, the exact amounts are uncertain.
A period of heavy snow is also possible behind the front on
Thursday as colder air arrives and snow levels fall.

Including the city of Crater Lake
