where did you hear that? Even compared to 2017 Rainier looks worse https://www.rei.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2019/09/Nisqually-Glacier-Comparison-color-cropped.jpg?resize=1024%2C1272

was that true at the end of the summer? It was definitely a promising late spring and cool start to summer. I suspect that September eliminated any gains that were made, but I confess I'm not 100% sure.

Pretty sure this record breaking summer of heat cancels that out though. Especially considering the long term trend. https://www.king5.com/article/weather/weather-blog/summer-2022-driest-record/281-8969b1b7-4981-4e9a-8427-f6e3801e0afd
