[enick]

^ i woke up to it, i thought it was an earthquake

 

[kevywevy]

yeah, i thought it was low flying airplanes!

 

[mtbakerteacher]

How much snow's in town down south? There's 7-8" here in Bellingham and it feels phenomenal.

 

[A-Style**]

8" on mercer island

 

[Dukeybrains]

6 or 7 inches in the south end

 

[Shifty540]

Bout six where I am but 10 mins from here in Monroe there is anywhere from 14 in town to 22 on the outskirts. Shit was ridiculous out there this morning on the way to Stevens.

 

[Deletedtoday]

[willydj]

[mtbakerteacher]

Is that a warm, wet front moving in?

 

[mtbakerteacher]

Anyone want a ride to baker tomorrow?

 

[cobra_commander]

It is percipitation moving in. a different graphic shows the temps and they will still be low.

 

[bigbuds]

WOW! IT'S DUMPIN' DONUTS AT MT. BAKER! As of 5:00 pm Wednesday, we've had 20 inches of new snow in 12 hours and it's still snowing hard.

Nuff Said...

 

[SushiMan]

I wish I were back in the PNW looks like you guys have more pow pow then japan now.

=(...... bummer

 

[ShreddingthaGnar]

Its puking like crazy on the Cascades - Alpental opens tomorrow!!

Hell yes this is a good Christmas break

 

[Scott~]

So yesterday the snow report said 14-20 inches tomorrow at stevens, now it says no accumulation, but there is a winter storm warning that says to expect 1-2 feet tomorrow on the very same page. What the fuck...

 

[regge]

yeahhhhhhhhhh itssss fucking snowing in Renton

 

[RudyGarmisch]

See you bitches there tomorrow for first tracks on the backside. And Tuesday. And Wednesday.

Also, I have a free seat in my car, I'd like to cut down on my gas expenses. Its open if you want it, and I promise not to grope you, unless you are a particular Kevin.

 

[Scott~]

I have class tomorrow, so fuck you!~

 

[dmoney19]

I was supposed to be in class today to, but I didnt go.

And this is what happens.

 

[dmoney19]

For some reason the .gif isnt playing above.. click on it for full effect.

or..

 

[Scott~]

die~

 

[coolhandluke]

we're all getting screwed pretty hard right now

 

[Scott~]

Shit is sliding to the ground. Its all fucked up. 2 lift towers down at Hyak.

 

[Dukeybrains]

fuuuuuuck

 

[coolhandluke]

"peshastin creek" became "peshastin raging fucking river" today and undercut the roadway

this is on highway 97 between blewett pass and highway 2

 

[Deletedtoday]

is that in twisp?

 

[coolhandluke]

no they cant afford guardrails and reflective striping on roads in okanagan county.

those pics are from literally right in the middle of our state

 

[Shifty540]

Holy shit thats is intense. I drive up through 97 on way to Stevens during school and I cannot believe that little creek is now a raging alcoholic.

 

[mtbakerteacher]

Bellingham along squalicum creek was flooded with 4ish feet of water. Canceled school and ruined a couple familys' days.

 

[Scott~]

Well when this is done it should help out our snowpack a bunch. Or am I wrong?~

 

[RudyGarmisch]

Last road out of Duvall and Carnation is now covered in water. Two shitty towns are now isolated from the rest of the Earth.

 

[SushiMan]

let the rain fall down and end my dreams

let it wash away all that snow

la laa laaaaa la laaa

 

[coolhandluke]

your glory towns are crying for your help

 

[mtbakerteacher]

Depends. When it rains, everything that's gonna slide slides, so right now snowpack is going to be stabler, but if temps drop again it could create an unstable layer for future snowpack.

 

[coolhandluke]

the best answer for any snowpack stability question is "it depends".

scott is also assuming we will still have snow in the mountains once this is all over.

 

[Shifty540]

Its dumping snow at stevens pass!!!!

 

[hael]

yeah, we've already had two days canceled, and i don't see how we could possibly have school tomorrow. i mean, it's still raining.

all the kids at my school who live in peaceful valley are so screwed-they're completely stuck.

 

[mtbakerteacher]

Hahahahahahaha

 

[laughdamon]

Where's peaceful valley? We talking sudden valley?

Anyway... Chances of being rained on tomorrow... 90%?

5000ft freezing levels with .75"-1" of precip

 

[GANDALF]

snoqualmie was sick today

 

[A-Style**]

indeed.

 

[SushiMan]

yesh that was a good day. super tired, scary driving home

 

[Dukeybrains]

Dumpin like crazy yesterday bout to hit some alpenchronic today if shit's tight.

 

[mtbakerteacher]

I have no idea where it is, somewhere off the mt baker highway or highway 9, but I laughed at irony.

 

[ShreddingthaGnar]

Wtf is going on this week...

[Scott~]

Temps in the mid 40s? DO NOT WANT~

 

[aaron.ebner]

yeah, people drive like maniacs even when the weather is shit. but the skiing was fun.

 

[A-Style**]

Today was... interesting. The snow was how I like my women, not my skiing. Wet.
