12:08 pm - 32 degrees - snowing...
We’re in the middle of another
winter storm that will carry through till tomorrow night. The weather forecast is all over the map so
they’re saying we could get anywhere from 1 foot to 4 feet of snow before this
storm is over.
We’re currently just over 8” of
new snow which is also known as Cascade Concrete. This type of snow got its name because it is
characteristic of the Cascades in the Pacific Northwest, and we get it quite
often. It is a wet, heavy and often
sticky snow, which makes doing anything like walking, snowshoeing, driving,
skiing, snowboarding, sledding, literally anything, very difficult and you’re
bound to get soaking wet doing it!

This is the kind of snow that
is horrible to drive in. You can be in 4-wheel
drive, with new studded snow tires with chains and you will still be spinning
your tires. Glad we don’t have to go
anywhere today.
