A surprise 7+ inches at my house on Orcas Island. Reports of a foot+ in other parts of the island. We largely missed out on the snow in the last two storms, so the pleas of the children must have been heard. It's still coming down. If this is the warmup for the whopper tomorrow...

Blizzard here in the Sultan foothills. Snow is so deep I could barely open the door to go out to the barn and feed the horses. What happened to El Nino, anyway?

Wow, supposed to snow there until Sunday! Glad I don't have to go anywhere, I can actually snowmobile to a little store a mile away for necessities like beer and milk. Commuters are going to be in for a rough week over there. We are probably going to get maybe 4-5" of powder here in N Idaho tonite.

Go placidly amid the noise and waste, and remember what comfort there may be in owning a piece thereof.

NancyAnn It appears that NOAA Climate Center has predicted above normal temperatures for Washington State. NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center has issued their outlook for January to March 2019, which still indicates patterns of a weak El Nino. Warmer than average temperatures are predicted across the West and Northern Plains. Colder than normal weather is predicted for the Tennessee Valley. From the Southeast to the Southwest, wetter than average weather is in the forecast. In the Ohio Valley and Pacific Northwest, below normal precipitation is predicted. The NOAA Climate Prediction Center website has a list of predictions. The NOAA Prediction made Jan 17, 2019 shows Wash State temperature to be above normal

11 degrees and an inch maybe, of new. It looks like nice, light snow, no glop. Waterville is the Douglas County seat.

What's especially fun about sock puppets is that you can make each one unique and individual, so that they each have special characters. And they don't have to be human––animals and aliens are great possibilities

Didn't get much here in Priest Lake last night, the storms have been kinda going around us. I think we only have about 2' so far, going to take a bit to reach the 6' average. We need the snow to keep the fire danger down in summer. Saw on the news where a guy near Waterville went around a barricade and got stuck, his truck is now nearly completely buried. eek.gif

10" on the ground at my house in Spokane.* Nothing unusual or extraordinary about this except it is the first good snow of the season. We usually have something like this much earlier, when it does occur. *Some settling of contents may have occurred during shipping.

Nature exists with a stark indifference to humans' situation.

The difference in snow management methods between WA and OR is on stark display here in the Gorge. The far smaller, and poorer, Bingen/White Salmon WA side of the river still has bare/wet roadways even with the continuing snowfall and far fewer plows. Cross the bridge into Hood River, and the city streets are a hazardous mess. Deeply ice rutted roads even on the main streets, many side streets essentially closed, minimum 2" of snow and ice on the main roads, a semi truck stuck in mid intersection, two cars in ditches. I'll let you guess which cities are applying road treatments, and which are not.

Lost power NE of Redmond about 6pm. Now on generator power for the 4th time this season. We are getting really good at wrangling cords. And (he says smugly) before the first flake fell on Friday I pre-positioned the generator under the deck and put a big sheet of heavy plastic on top of the deck to keep water off our power supply. Still snowing with 7-8 inches of heavy snow on the road. Looks like I will be plowing tomorrow unless it's raining. The good news is that our internet connection (Comcast) is alive and well.

Only if you are wanting to cut it up and haul it off for firewood. Otherwise I will be one of the hundreds of people advertising free firewood on Craigslist next week when this melts off. Unfortunately my MS390 won't start and I'd prefer somebody else deal with it. smile.gif

My driveway slopes down to the garage which is the front part of my basement; had to shovel it out 5 times to prevent flooding once the rain starts. 36F on my patio therm right now, so the big melt has probably begun. It's been a rough couple of days on the backyard bamboo. Discovered that you can't adequately clear all the snow off your whole bamboo grove without getting completely pelted. Fun times. huh.gif
