Thanks Al! Yeah, when we get this deep marine layer, they have lower cloud tops than a traditional storm, so they do literally spill over the dam and the SW-facing mountain slopes. Pretty to see, but I'm kind of over this chilly weather. C'mon spring! Or in this case, c'mon summer! lol

Its pretty cool out there Ben. I liked your wording "Moisture could spill into the mountains". This describes perfectly the way the clouds pile up at the dam and behind the ski resorts and someone's cover our valley. Beautiful dramatic clouds!
