CONFIDENCE IS GROWING THAT...

[PowderMiner]

THE COLDEST WEATHER OF THE SEASON SO FAR WILL ARRIVE THIS WEEKEND AND PERSIST INTO MONDAY. IT IS A GOOD BET THAT AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES WILL ONLY REACH THE 30S OVER MUCH OF EASTERN WASHINGTON AND NORTH IDAHO SATURDAY...SUNDAY...AND MONDAY.

MODERATE TO HEAVY MOUNTAIN SNOW WILL BE POSSIBLE FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. TRAVEL THROUGH THE CASCADE PASSES AND OVER LOOKOUT PASS THIS WEEKEND MAY BE TREACHEROUS.

Music to my ears

Let me know when you've got a snowpack at your cabin, I'll be waiting in your driveway the following morning.

I got confidence that the snow level will jump right back to 8k and melt all this fresh. Its good to have hope.

PM you going up this weekend? Looks like we might have some white fluff on the driveways!

Thinking about it... but I have a midterm report due going to take most my time. Going to have a lot of pent-up sledding angst on the holidays.

Stevens Pass

Just came over and it was coming down! There was a head on wreck before the sharp turn 1/4 down on the west side. At least 4 cars spun out and semi's stopped and chaining up. Looks like this storm will give us a good base, so keep on doing the snow dance and we should be sledding before long
