Snoooow, Snoooow, Snoooow, Snoooow (in four-part harmony)

So it has been snowing here since Friday--though last last night it turned to rain. It's a slushy mess out there on the roads today. The skiers are dancing little jigs, though, since it will still be snowing up on Mission.

One of my students lives up on Blewett. She walked into class about 20 minutes late today. She got 2 and a half feet over the weekend, and it's still snowing up there. The roads look clear on the web cam today. But yesterday, all was white near the summit.

Oh, and it sure would be nice if someone would plow around here... It snowed all weekend, and I didn't see or hear a plow until 5 a.m. today. What's up with that? The roads still have at least 4 inches of slush with four ruts down the center.

I saw the Seattle area on the news, under water! I hope you're alright where you are. Oh, and Discovery was showing a bunch of stuff on Big Foot this weekend, and I kept thinking of y'all.

Yes, we're comparatively dry on this side of the mountains. Thanks for thinking of us. :)

The northwest is experiencing its annual "Pineapple Express." What happens is that all sorts of moisture and warm weather pushes up from Hawaii. Then it just sort of spins over Washington and Oregon, causing heavy rains and high winds. This year's a little worse than usual, though.
