Let it snow
Got about six inches on the ground last night. Warmed up a bit but we are expected to get hit tonight -- from the
Winter Storm Warning:
URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SEATTLE WA
238 PM PST SAT JAN 14 2012
.A COLD UPPER TROUGH WILL DIRECT SNOW SHOWERS INTO WESTERN
WASHINGTON TONIGHT. THE HEAVIEST SNOW WILL CONTINUE TO FALL IN THE
MOUNTAINS WITH SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS IN THE LOWLANDS. PEOPLE
TRAVELING IN WESTERN WASHINGTON MAY SEE SLICK ROADS TONIGHT AS THE
SNOW LEVEL DROPS DOWN TO NEAR SEA LEVEL.
And:
TOTAL SNOW ACCUMULATIONS...12 TO 18 INCHES OF TOTAL SNOW IS
LIKELY FROM THIS WEATHER SYSTEM. LOWER ELEVATIONS WILL SEE
LIGHTER ACCUMULATION BUT THE SNOW LEVEL WILL BE FALLING TO SEA
LEVEL.
First big system of the season -- the people that work for Mt. Baker are stoked. This is very much a tourist economy and this is our second biggest season (Summer Vacation being by far the biggest with Spring being a dead zone and fall not that much better).
