10 inches at Bluewood (4500 ft). Thursday night. 16 inches Saturday night.
None in Walla Walla itself. Looks like the snow level is about 2000 ft. here.

I was just out shoveling a couple of drives with my son and the kid across the street. They were grumbling about shoveling and not having snow blowers. I showed your photo, and told them you shoveled. When Nick figured out the photo was from Telemark Talk he started with "Oh great the guys that don't buy lift tickets". I told him lots of the guys buy lift tickets. Just to mess with him, I told him you were a concrete guy. He just rolled his eyes, he said that there is no hope for a concrete guy that skis uphill to ski downhill. He thinks there was something wrong with the water when we grew up.lowangle al wrote:IMG_0227.JPG

Looking good! Heard Oregon has been suffering a bit this year. Up here WA it has been strangely good considering the ills just south. And it has been a most bountiful Feb. Had vacation that turned into a stay-vacation (just to love on some of that good snow).1EyedJack wrote:My backyard finally got a gift from the snow gods.... and more on the way
PNW snowpack has been suffering, but getting some action lately.

what you see here is "outside the wire". sorry.
lots of great xcd+, and not bad views.
[oh yahh, Crater Lake NP, Oregon] and in summer, you can swim in the lake (-:

That picture is from a few years ago but i was out there for almost three hours on Tuesday and then I got almost 1000 feet in another three hours. I took yesterday off and went out today for almost four hours but was moving kind of slow. I don't think I had recovered yet plus the long johns were a big mistake.fisheater wrote:I was just out shoveling a couple of drives with my son and the kid across the street.
