There's some sort of big storm headed our way that's supposed to dump a bunch of snow but then get really warm and rain.

Well, we are in the middle of a snow storm now. Cold temps and a lot of wind! We are expecting about 8-12 inches when its done tomorrow morning. Currently in my backyard, we have about 6 inches.

It's cold here (-5 F) and windy. We've been top to bottom since the second day we opened and have started opening natural snow terrain. The forcast is for 8" - 14" more by tomorrow. Yippee (I'm trying to muster up some excitement, but without much luck).

So Skier, you think that Washington's getting dumped, but I think Wolf Creek and Silverton win this round with 31 and 36 inches respectively!!!!!!!! Not too much on the I-70 corridor. :sad:

Try doing your research about places away from where you are before you make blanket statements about them. :thumbsup: And we didn't get much in southern Summit County, if you call 14" not much. Oh yeah and its still falling.

N. MI got a least 10 in. tonight, hard to tell with 30 mph winds. some ice pellets now, maybe a little rain, then more lake effect.. I agree with the mistress, hard to get excited..... especially when the roads are non-existant tonight. Nasty stuff

Snoqualmie COULD of opened this weekend but didn't, maybe this next weekend they will. There is a 22" base at Snoqualmie Summit and a 25" or so at the base of Alpental.

Hmmm, they only had 8" on the ground yesterday and it lookes like a mix of grass, mud, and slush. The 25" didn't fall until last night and today. Considering the rain tomorrow I think it was wise for them not to open just today.

It was at 8" when I checked, while considerable, nothing like 36". Anyway I can say winter is here! There was a good foot at Vail today.
