its tempting to ski tomorrow, but that freezing rain has already kicked in at snoqualmie, eventually stevens. and eventually there will be no more cold air, so it wont freeze, only melt, sending forth swollen rivers of sorrow, into the dark waters from whence it came
I have used that site for years. and it does not give you the exact conditions, it will give you a forcast and aprox. conditions, but not exact, and when grant posted it said it was snowing and it had not been updated for an hour or so, plus the webcams were black.
warm, moist air man. that first wave was cold, as it was snowing, but then the warm one finally made land fall. it was warming up all through the night. i stepped outside around 1, and it was so much warmer already by that point
There is no way any place except for maybe Baker and Crystal are getting anything with this raing right now it blows! A good website for pass for Stevens, Snoqualmie and a couple other is http://www.atmos.washington.edu/maciver/roadview/i90/
well crystal is rained out and has goten less the snoqualmie and stevesn this year, and baker is low. so I doubt that they are doing well, baker might be getting a colder front then we are so who knows.
Whether or not we get snow down here (i want to doubt it... but I've got that tingly feeling, me thinks its possible) it will still be very cold end of the week, so the mountains will be getting snow, thats all thats important.
I skied a little bit yesterday at Stevens. I was goin to pickup my college pass but got there after they closed. Raining and shit, it was pretty nasty. My friends were like "fuck man, lets leave" but i took my gear out and made a few turns and it was SHITTY. I finally decided to say fuck it and leave. Then almost got a MIP last night, but luckily campus police are pretty chill here in Ellensburg.
if it were about 12 degrees colder, we would seriously be talking about the many feet of snow, road closures, and the sudden decline in school grades, and a huge influx in people calling in sick. Making a mad dash for the mountains would be a requirement.
It would be an oh so glorious time... but that doesnt happen in the PNW. We will just have to be patient... for now.
oh my good lord it would be a VERY GLORIOUS time......but FUCK THE PINAPPLE EXPRESS, i've never even BEEN to hawaii and i already hate it !!!!!! you hear that hawaii, fuck you!
but then we get cold temps, lowland snow possible.....could we actually be seeing some effects of global climate change? could be...
This Rain is f***ing rediculous!! Ya its rain but the temp is 60* and all the snow is melting. Right not I dont think this winter will be good. Please correct me if im wrong.
holy shiiit it is raining so hard....i had to walk across campus to get here to the computer lab. I dont want to walk across again to get to my next class. I loko like i just took a shower with my clothes on
"Wednesday and Thursday will be decreasing showers each day, to where Thursday actually might qualify as a completely dry day, with temperatures cooling to the upper 40s. But then, long-range models show another soggy and windy storm moving in for Friday and next weekend -- although this one looks like more normal temperatures and perhaps our first big snow for the mountains."

so who wants to start filling a box full of stuff like diseases and animals so when this doesnt happen, they can pay the price for making us hope?
I guess if there is any good of this...its the timing. Im glad it only wiped out a 6 inch base. Imagine if this event occured in December and devastated say a 50 inch base.
