Special weather statement from NOAA:

 

...SNOW SHOWERS ARE LIKELY IN THE OLYMPICS AND CASCADES ON FRIDAY..

 

A STRONG STORM SYSTEM WILL USHER IN A COLDER AIR MASS ON FRIDAY

THAT WILL CAUSE SNOW LEVELS TO PLUMMET AS LOW AS THE 4000 FOOT

LEVEL. SNOWFALL AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED TO BE LESS THAN 3 INCHES.

HOWEVER THE AIR MASS WILL ALSO BE UNSTABLE ENOUGH FOR A CHANCE

OF THUNDERSTORMS...WHICH COULD RESULT IN LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS.

 

 

It ain't ski time this weekend but it's getting closer.

I just put my skis on in the living room; it has been a 15 or 16 month time out for me. I'm sure my doctor would disapprove, but if he only knew what I've been climbing. :grlaf:

 

I just need to sharpen my skis reglue the skins and get a new set of safety straps and I'm there. :moondance:
