Granted, I'm no expert, so who knows.
Also, 2013 peaked at 1800m/s. Cresting 300 doesn't seem that rare. It's happened in 2007, 2008, 2011, 2012 and 2014 in the last decade alone.

Totally anecdotal but flew to Vancouver last week. Man there is a dump load of snow on both sides of the devide. May never have noticed it before but the volume was staggering.
A slow melt would be great. All that mixed with heavy rain would have me very very nervous.
