Told you it was windy
From
Wunderground:
Statement as of 2:48 PM PST on November 12, 2007
...Summary of winds reported around western Washington today...
97 mph peak gust 5 miles east of I-5 on Mt Baker Highway ( 900 am )
92 mph peak gust Sekiu ( 730 am )
84 mph peak Gust Lake Lawrence ( 930 am )
74 mph peak gust Bellingham Airport ( 809 am )
That first entry (97 mph) is about 15 miles from where we live...
The good news is from the
Mt. Baker Ski Area:
There is a significant storm sitting off the coast of Washington right nowwhich is expected to move ashore on Monday pointed right at Mt. Baker.
With gale wind warnings currently issued for the Coast of Washington in anticipation of this next system moving in, it certainly seems to be packing a punch and it is very possible that the North Cascades (ie Mt. Baker only) could end up with 30 INCHES OF SNOW BY TUESDAY NIGHT.
After Monday�s weather event, we will assess the next series of forecasts before we make a determination about opening day so be looking for update late Monday or Tuesday morning.
A lot of people are waiting for it to open!
