Winterdog Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 This model riding is a cruel mistress indeed. She beckons us from afar, moves us closer and closer then harshly brushes us off only to glance at us seductively once again as she turns away. At the end of the dance she is ours, quaking within our arms, she is everything we want, then she's gone, gone with the warmth of a southwest flow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brennan Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 This area is a long way but is so beautiful and there is very few people. Sometimes snow is deep and some years not so much. Only about 6 inches right now at 3500 feet but sometimes it's 3 feet.

luvssnow_spokane Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 To not ignore my reasoning why we are going to get nailed.What the hell is wrong with people being cautiously optimistic? Please explain. Do you forget how many meltdowns you have had when it does not work out after you say it is a slam dunk, and it will happen? I feel like you do not remember that. Your nearly narcissistic approach that we should believe you and we should accept you word is just ridiculous!! NO ONE is trying to tell you it will not happen, as it very well could, BUT reading the tea leaves on 10 day out patterns is no freaking slam dunk. If you want to be 100% sure then go for it, but you have been wrong many, many times, as have all of us. So, let those that want to step back in a wait and see mode do so, that is NOT negative - THAT my friend is wisdom based on experience.

It's not like it's been that hard to get cold weather here in recent years either. I am pretty confident we will see some cool weather and probably lowland snow this month. I think there is a pretty good chance it gets pretty snowy. Especially for my location and places north of Seattle down to sea level. I am not confident about arctic air. I think Justin may be on the right track in thinking snow at most airport locations, but no true arctic air. And considering January since 1982 that would seem a smart bet.
