Waiting for it to Snow


This time of year almost all Pass residents begin to wonder "when will the snow fly?" It's a waiting and guessing game. Some folks like Jack at Hyak.net even give out prizes for guessing correctly.

The weather predictions around here aren't exactly known for their accuracy, but late next week the snow level is reportedly going to dip down to around 4000 feet. We're at about 2800 here at Cascadia (our home's nickname) and the Snoqualmie Summit 2 miles west of here is 3000 give or take a few feet. Hopefully this means that we should be able to view a little snow across on the ridge inside of a week, woot! The photo is representative of what the ridge looks like after a dusting.
