SNOW!
:suspect: :evil: :no:
Yup, it just got real. Got a dusting early this AM, but didn't stick. Daytime temps in the upper 30's and now 34. So not sticking yet, but this will change overnight.
NOAA says to expect several inches between now and Sunday. However it doesn't look like it'll be around for any significant period. At least yet!
Already the pass on I-90 at Snoqualmie Summit has had several inches, and the snow level has now crept down to my elevation. Happy happy, joy joy!
It's far too early for this crap, and I am not amused! And yet the NOAA outlook calls for another La Nina winter, with colder and wetter temps than normal. So far this is holding true.
And I hasten to add that this past winter was one of our harshest yet, in my 30 yrs in the Pac NW! So this does not bode well.....
