My interest is officially piqued. This signal could actually mean something…if it’s real.

I went out and spent a chunk of my bonus on new Christmas decorations. I had that lit drinking deer at the place in Marshall that doubled as my snow depth instrument. Well, now I have family of lit deer out back and I lit up a 7' red pine about 100 ft back and up on the hillside. Just peeked out and it's nice to see them in snow and I caught the tail end of another SHSN so I got to see flakes coming down as well. I need to take some measurements for depth reference if/when we get deeper snow.

Thanks homie. You’ve definitely got me beat though, haha. I have no complaints so far. It’s a very well-built and insulated building. Have not heard a single noise from any of the adjacent apartments, mail/package system is efficient, gym in building is well maintained and open 24/7, no issues with the apartment itself either. And the views are fantastic.

ECMWF and GFS continue to agree it's going to get nice and mild in about a week.

18z GFS broke down the ridge significantly sooner with some mountain snow for the North half of the WA Cascades and heavy wet mountain snow in SW BC by next weekend. Would be nice to see that idea continue on the 00z. Euro is still mostly high and dry through next weekend.
