looks like we are staying home, and listen to it rain. WE are about to see if this Island will float.

The current snowpack bodes well for water supplies next year as well as providing winter fun for mountain people. I did get a lot more flying in last winter than I am this year. Bad weather may be good for snowpack, but it is keeping my plane on the ground more than I'd like. Sigh.

We got all of yours last winter(Northeast) you can have all of ours this winter. Might hit 70 tomorrow in Boston.

Whidby Island still there?

Boston is going to experience record warm for Chritmas. Starting the drive south ,looks like rain and warm for the week end.

I think it is starting to float, the water line is much lower than it was 12 hours ago.

Buffalo is free of snow for the first time in a century.

Buffalo is free of snow for the first time in a century.

We've had snow on the ground, continuously, since before Thanksgiving. That is unusual.

2 feet in Steamboat in the last 48 hours. Champagne Powder Days!!!

Cheers

That all sounds so nice. I shall raise my gin and tonic in toast to our NW friends - as I float around in the pool !

On the positive side, it does make for funny videos.

It's all good, just make the most of it, dust off your snowboard or skis, swap your tundras for pen skis, get some good boots and it's all gravey!

 

[oregonboy109]

I wish all this rain we're getting in Ohio was snow!

The down side is Lake Erie is staying warm which means the lake effect snow machine is gonna be turbocharged.

And then the airports will close for snow removal. Can't fly cause of rain, can't fly cause of snow. Best not to get the snow.

Make sure the Island does its weight and balance. And get the populace evenly distributed. It may not sink, but it might tip over......

I crack up every time I think about this

I dunno. I've been there in August with no snow on the ground, much more recently than that.

 

[timwinters]

We set a record high here yesterday...by 5am.

They can get them plowed reasonably fast. Didn't have a problem last winter flying a day after a big snow storm multiple times. It's Christmas and it's in the 60s....I'd much rather have snow.

Yeah... I was driving up from Portland yesterday and all of the signs on I-5 mentioned that on I-90... Gotta love Seattle traffic.

Snoqualmnie Pass (I-90) has gotten 107" of snow this week. 24" last night. Ski Lodges are loving it, but their customers can't get there.

Christmas in the Northwest

 

[Twin_Flyer]

76 here in SE Virginia... Calling for 70 on Christmas /w rain... Thinking about a cookout just because...

 

[BillTIZ]

Las Vegas NV, Mid 50s today, 40nm winds tonight as the front approaches. Colder and breezy on Christmas Day. Saturday, high might get to 40 and windy.

This is the trailing end of the front that dumped the snow in Oregon and Northern California.
Colder here than in Boston.

Be joyous that you are not receiving the brunt of the worst storm in Washington's resent memory. (15' 0f snow in 5 days)

 

[Circuit Flyer]

Looks like we'll exceed 80 in New Orleans. Disgusting.

Its been interesting, to say the least. Solid 18" of snow in the orchard. Kubota is out of commission right now, and I'm really really happy Pete bought a snow thrower a couple years ago.

Snoqualmie is open, as of 0500 this morning. DOT crews have been doing an awesome job of cleaning up the mess.

it's 74 where I am....and the windows are open and the fans are a buzzing.

Here in the high desert we are having winds up to 35, occasional snow showers, occasional sun, mud and the temperature is around 37 degrees, with forecast lows in the single to the minus single digits for the next few nights.

Last week the highs were in the upper 50s but with the abundant sunshine it was almost short sleeve weather.

After Hurricanes Betsy, Camille, Andrew, Juan, Katrina, et al., we can take it. Just not very Christmassy. :-/

Merry Christmas to you two. Let's hope all this snow makes for a quieter fire season next summer.
