Here's Mt. Baker, where all the action is, 30 miles due east as the eagle flies.

We're extremely fortunate that the more moderate marine layer gives us more rain than snow! Add a little elevation and there you have it.

GF25? Loving it more every time I pick it up! Might have to do a GF25 love post one of these days. :wink:

Merry/Happy,
Joe

It actually snowed here in Vegas earlier in the week over on the South side of town. It's 26 degrees out right now. Sheesh. Needless to say, they're not replastering the pool this week.... too damn COLD!

That's some SERIOUS snow, Joe. Kinda fun to see, but glad I'm not IN IT!! 8)
