The West Shore received some nice publicity this morning via Al Roker and the Weather Channel. One of their on scene reporters gave a report from mid-mountain at the Homewood resort with the Lake in the backdrop- Nice.
They anticipate maybe 2 feet of powder at lake level, more on the peaks. This is good, giving the ski areas a big boost for Presidents Day weekend in 10 days. Oregon is getting a nice bit of snow, a little unusual for the Columbia Basin. The Pineapple Express is the apparent source of this moisture. While not "El Nino", the 'Express' is a welcome source to the dry coast. All the doomsday predictions should be somewhat cooled after the rain/snow. But, as we know, only complete restoration of averages will calm the irascible pundits. Maybe a little flooding on the Upper Sac will help. The fishing in some coastal rivers will improve, with high flows getting the spawn going.
Get the snow chains out, the rock salt, the shovels, blowers, and plows.
Smile.
