We met up with Nell & Dave today at an ROD park in Randle, WA. It was raining off & on all day, but we decided to take a drive to visit Mt. Rainier just in case we were able to see it. 
Nell & Dave had visited Mt Rainier a couple of days earlier and had some great views of the Mountain and we were hoping the weather would clear enough for us to see it too.
We saw some beautiful scenery on the way through the park.
As we drove further into the park, we gained altitude and the temp started to drop.
The rain ended......Well it turned more solid anyway.
We went as far as "Paradise" which is a visitor's center at about 5000 ft. The rest of the roads in the park were closed due to snow at higher elevations and flooded roads at lower elevations.
We never were able to see Mt. Rainier because when we would have been able to see it, it was snowing too hard to see any more than about 100 yards.
Yes, that last pic is a snow drift which goes onto the roof of the visitors center at "Paradise."
Now I remember why we left WI.
