  1. Woke up to a coating of white. 32F. Burien 390’
  2. I have a good feeling about this, Snow Wiz! We shall see.
  3. Has the Parallel been any more accurate in the long range? It does look nice at the end!
  4. Just for you, snow wizard!! 1969 near SeaTac Airport. Found these while moving my uncle out of his house. My grandfather sent them to him when he was over seas fighting in the Vietnam War. Grandpa noted he had to shovel the roof multiple times over the duration of the event.
  5. No permit needed for upper A lot but new rules this year require at least four people in the car and is on a first come first serve basis. Of course, you can park in the lower B or C lots and hop on their shuttle that takes you to the base. https://www.crystalmountainresort.com/environmental-responsibility/carpool
  6. No link just going off memory. I could be mistaken but I do not see you mentioning your buddy over at the NWS on here often. Last time you did, it snowed!
  7. I'm the eyes and ears of this institution. I'll crawl back in my hole now...
  8. Didn't your buddy at the NWS give you a heads up about cold and snow coming in Feb, 2011 when nothing even remotely close was showing up in the models? You were mocked on the Fox 12 blog but ultimately ended up being proven right??
  9. 4" total and 26.9F Just finished unthawing the hummingbird feeder for the third time today
  10. Good on you for not getting bummed out. My inner weenie would be having a mini meltdown if I was up there and my hometown mountain received a foot of snow.
  11. My wife and I were skiing at Whistler right up until the day of the opening ceremonies. Although snow was lacking on the valley floor, conditions were reasonable on the hill with some cold sun and even a little bit of fresh pow. The death of the Georgian athlete Nodar Kumaritashvil was the real downer. He hit a pole at 89mph while on a practice run for the Skeleton Luge.
  12. On March 1st 1989, the snow was supposed to quickly turn to rain but never did. It was my Freshman year at Highline High and I would call Harry Wappler's weather line at KIRO News in-between classes in the school office eagerly awaiting for his updates. It was music to my ears after he admitted his forecast busted and the snow would continue through the night. The snow started sticking to the roads in the late afternoon leaving twelve inches behind the following morning. Great event!
  13. I don't ever recall seeing a 28 degree temperature difference between mid-mountain and the top of Alpental. Currently 48 degrees on top.
  14. Our location in Burien received 5". Still have over 3" of dry, powdery snow! Elevation is 380'.
