Winter is coming
UPDATE AT END
Got our first
Winter Storm Warning of the year from NWS:
THE SNOW LEVEL WILL REMAIN AROUND 4000 FEET WHILE MOIST WESTERLY FLOW BRINGS SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING. THE FIRST SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL OF THE SEASON WILL CONTINUE OVER THE HIGHER ELEVATION ROADS IN THE CASCADES...MAINLY ABOVE 4000 FEET.
THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE NORTH CASCADES HIGHWAY...THE MOUNT BAKER HIGHWAY...AND THE ROADS TO PARADISE AND SUNRISE IN MOUNT RAINIER NATIONAL PARK WILL LIKELY RECEIVE A FOOT OR MORE OF SNOW THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING.
La Ni�a and
Pacific Decadal Oscillation -- talk about a double whammy. Should be great for business...
UPDATE: About an hour after I initially posted this, I ran out to the store for some dinner fixings and was talking with a local who tried to drive up to the end of the Mt. Baker Highway to a place called
Artist Point. They have a front-wheel drive family SUV and were not able to get to the top for all the snow and slush on the ground.
