Impressive...most impressive. Ive seen worse inversions but also in much bigger terrain(jackson hole iirc). Thats quite a jump for 2000 vertical feet.

The icing snuck up on us in Ballard. I went out around 9 on Thursday to bring the hummingbird feeders in for the night. It was dead calm but I could hear very light precipitation delicately "tinkling" down like glass. There was no wind during the night so it was a surprise to see the heavy glaze next morning. It didn't seem like there'd been a storm. Some of the yard bamboo was laid low and my granite landscaping boulders looked like they'd been polished. The neighborhood silence was marvelous, just like on heavy snowfall days.
I spent part of the day making braided Christmas bread, but my Tweety had the best idea: hunker down and snooze all afternoon. The fringe that's all over her blankie is one of her cat crafting hobbies.

Let's go skiing today!
NWS Discussion this AM:
| Quote: | | Cross Cascade gradients continue to trend toward 0 tonight but
still negative into the early morning hours. Will be cautious and
keep the ice storm warning going for the passes tonight. It will
be a tough call on when the cold air gets scoured out of the
passes. Could see an inch or so of ice accusations in the passes
by later tonight. This is a dangerous situation with the
possibility of tress coming down on the highways as well as power
outages in the area. |
At Xmas 1968 several of us went to Jackson Hole (not the golf course) for a week of skiing. We rode the train and passed through the Columbia River Gorge just after a period of very cold weather and a recent ice storm. There was perhaps 4" of ice on poles, etc. along the tracks. It had really been cold because 3-4' of pack ice was just breaking up on the Hood River. Skiing at Jackson was great.

Incidentally the big winner as far as warming up was the top of White Pass @5800' with a 24 hour temperature change of 47 degrees.....

I recall once seeing nearly 40f at the top (5250’) and 15f at the bottom (4000’) of Loup Loup ski area.
25 deg in 1250 ft.!
