Rivers is fluttering passes... and everyone in the PNW knows they are handing off to Taylor. And somehow they are effectively moving the ball. Confounding.

Yeah models look pretty abysmal over the next 1-2 weeks at least. Snowpack is going to take a pretty big hit during that time. Not complaining too much given we've had a good start to the season but it'd be nice to have just a skiff of snow still on the ground by Christmas. We have some pretty big piles of snow in spots so perhaps one of those will still be around by then. And who knows, maybe we can still get a small little system to move through around Christmas time with just enough cold air tapped into it to drop a little coating. Occasional model runs hint at this but it's looking like a long shot at the moment.

If I can get my wife and kids up early enough one day before the new year during Christmas break we might make the long trek around to still visit Leavenworth for the day.

Yuck.
