Best run yet of the 3km NAM for FSD. Heaviest totals shifted slightly NW vs the previous two runs.

Last frame shows action starting…maybe.

Lake Wenatchee is wetter, but we are not that dry. We average about 25 inches of precip a year. Lake Wenatchee gets around 37 inches, which is actually more than Bellingham. Of course Lake Wenatchee and Plain get more snow. But they don't have the views we do. Though I do like the sense of community that Plain had. Go down to Cashmere and you will see dry. Or Winthrop. Those areas are surrounded by sage brush and wild grasses, where we are surrounded by forests.

What about staring off into the fairly close but just fair enough away glowing yellow sodium lights to do a quick check to see if it's rain or snow falling? And then waking your children up at midnight to enjoy the glorious adventure of sledding in the barely marginal conditions while their classmates and friends sleep the night away, only to discover that around the time school is "snow delayed" for 2 hours, the cold air is scoured out and it begins to rain. The neighborhood child wake up to wonder why school is delayed, while your own child come in soaked to the bone because they did not want to lose one precious minute of the falling snow before it changed over to rain...

I think this gave me a migraine.
