Kind of a different beast though. Columbus Day storm will likely end up 30mb deeper. Possibly more.

Just read the Komo Weather blog and it just stays could get a bit breezy tmrw. What frustrates me is that most people just listen to these news channels and not the NWS. If it ends up being really bad tmrw a lot of people are going to be caught off guard and start throwing the NWS under the bus, which is just wrong. People need to start paying more attention to the NWS.

Praise be.
