If the stars somehow lined up, I'd believe it. Crystal is in such a weird place that it takes just the right combination of conditions to make true magic happen.
Excellent score for all down south. Still windy as all get out with little to no precip so taking this as our typical sign that we won't see anything meaningful. With that, I'm headed to bed to see what awaits in the morn.
Good luck to all the night owls enjoying the splats!
Winds still cranking, but aside from a few stray flakes, nothing at the surface here. Blown to smithereens!
Wind advisory out now for EPSL, up to 50 mph gusts (seems about right!).
Happened earlier today and we haven't frozen over yet, so I think we're good? Last I heard, restoration in progress.
100% what caused the PSE notice to go out though
Jackson Prairie went down completely earlier today. Big natural gas facility, supplies a lot of power to the west coast.

Reporting 22°F... minimal snow yesterday, everything that was coming down was dry crystally stuff and minimal accumulations on road surfaces. Flowerbeds have a nice white shiny look to them, so yay?
I've been so slammed with life that I've only got cursory glances at the forecasts since New Years... part two of the January thread? It's only the 7th! What happened to Pt 1??
...I see I've been missing out on a lot.
