According to the NOAA forecast, Snoqualmie Summit should receive approx. 3/4-1" of rain tomorrow, and it is supposed to continue raining through at least Saturday.  Should stay "in" but not sure about the snow...

I would think the snow would be a little sketch in places. Not that it could not be run just that if you had a problem you might be looking at a few ledges to swim no matter what to get out.

I took a break 2 weeks ago from skiing nearby to skin over to the run.  As James guessed, there is a lot of snow (at least two weeks ago) that would make the getting on or off harder, but its doable.  The whole road is, predictably, covered in snow so you'd have to be willing to deal with hauling boats by foot.  Saw one log on the third (?) drop of the foursome, but it was not really in play (limbo-esque).  If you are bored and up there though, the snow coverage is great and made for a pleasant skin along the banks just checking the run out at low flows.

Wait till the road clears, it's not worth the hike.
