Snow?

Have to ask Steve and Ellsworth........Just saw a news clip about the weather that's going on back there - after we'd been told in November that area hardly ever gets snow. How much have you guys gotten?

Hi Gloria,

Thus far we have a really light light dusting, not much at all, just enough to make a fellow want more :D

We usually don't get snow, maybe 1 or 2 times per winter. Typically it will only be an inch or so, and only lasts for a day or two -- at least near Monroe and Seattle, up north around Bellingham they often get a lot more.

Dang it all, I want a white Christmas some year lol

We got 10 inches and its still snowing on and off. A little snow like this is ok, just not all the time.

Well, we're in for a big storm today and tomorrow. Blizzard warnings have been issued. We're expecting anywhere from 12" to 30" before it's done tomorrow night. It started snowing heavily a few hours earlier than they expected today so I imagine, for once, the forecasters are right.

Fortunately, we like the snow. Today is a good day to just hunker down here at home and work on our log cabin design.

I have a picture taken Jan 21st of my house with snow. We live at an elevation of 320' about 40 miles north of Seattle. The snow stayed for about a week. Now it's all gone.

Nice picture and nice looking cabin! We'll be so happy when we can finally start on ours but we're still in the very beginning stages. Haven't even found land yet.

The forecasters were right for a change. We truly are having a blizzard! It's 6:20 a.m. on the 23rd, the wind is howling (probably near hurricane force like they predicted) and the snow is still coming down in buckets. Can't get the front door open easily and the wheels on my car are 3/4 buried. Looking forward to daylight to see what's really going on. :)
