Snow is falling over Western Washington and parts of NW Oregon this morning. I’ve been riding the train down from Seattle to Portland and saw close to an inch in the higher elevations near Centralia. I’m now in Kelso and everything has switched to a cold rain, with no snow accumulation to be found. This […]
Thanksgiving Week is, on average, the stormiest week of the year for the Pacific Northwest. And luckily for storm geeks and snow lovers across our region, Turkey Day 2016 will live up to its stormy reputation as a cyclone bringing strong winds, heavy rain, and heaps of mountain snow slams into the Pacific Northwest.
