More snow theft...

Can someone do something to lower my blood pressure? The numbers coming out of New England are already torturing me, and it's only the end of October. 72" this month on top of Mt Washington, 27 inches in 24 hours, wettest and snowiest Oct over, and now snow everywhere else and my old ski buddies getting face shots while I drag myself to another grey work day in Seattle. Last season was my first full one here, I came from NE, so maybe I'm a little oversensitive. It DOES snow here ... right?<br>

I guess the thing that scares me is that a temperature shift of not-so-many degrees could make that picture look like the webcam does today. I'm starting to pay more attention to these sky-is-falling global warming predictions.

Maybe it is time we start passing the hat for those "weather war" folks to get us some snow?<br><br>How much could a death ray cost anyways?<br>

For an example of a more average season, my dog hiking with me on May 5, 2002 at Hyak. We will see snow this year!!<br><br>
