The forecast

Oh, dear

Travel is rough going across the mountain passes this week. There's already been more snow in the Cascades than we had the entire season last year.  On the West coast, we have the monster El Nino to thank.  Hopefully it will clear out some by the time Amanda and Tom travel on Thursday with the girls.

Today is the winter solstice in the Northern hemisphere.  It's the shortest day and the longest night of the year.  In the unlikely event we see the sun today, at noon it will be very low on the horizon. 


A white Christmas is rare as hen's teeth in Seattle, but some of the forecasts give a possibility of light snow in the lowlands this week.  This is getting the Seattle kids excited.  For Nova and Maya, a few flurries would be pretty ho-hum.  Over in the Methow Valley, the snow has been piling up for weeks now.  Here's some cute snow play pictures Amanda took this weekend.
