Winter’s start is always messy. The warm days of fall still linger and melt early winter snows. This week we’ve had a mix of weather … most of it wet … much of that snow.
The week ended with a winter storm watch for the Cascades making passes un-passable. We’re not looking to get far. At present we will enjoy a crisp morning stroll that includes untracked powder.
The snow fall we got at the beginning of the week came under a cold front and frocked pine bows.
However, by the end of the week the temperatures warmed and the snow it brought was deeper but also heavy and hard to shovel. By afternoon the city plows were clearing the rutted streets of a slushy mix.
The shift to consistent cold is coming, but for now we have to contend with this snow and rain mix.
Loved hearing the crunch of snow in the video.
