It probably isn't clear of snow yet, but even if it were, it won't be climbable as it takes quite a while to dry out.
(It was snowing in Portland this morning which is at a much lower elevation.)

yeah, theres gonna be a lot of snow up there still.
if your looking for something new in the portland area (I don't know what you've climbed) try: rocky butte, broughton bluff, or oregon city (waterboard city park, It'll have to be dry for a few days before its climbable).

Oh man - I saw this thread out of the corner of my eye and I thought it said "Frenches Dome clear cut" and I just about had a heart attack.
Glad it's just snow.

You can also try Ozone (on the Washington side of the Columbia).
