I knew Amar would come back with this!  I remember reading that the misty warm rain is the worst from a great physics of snowmelt thread from a few years back.  Took the kids to Snoq falls to see the twigs (read large trees) going over.  Always fun to watch.

Good call. Almost went up there this weekend to be a big kid and watch the same. It is always an impressive sight. I stayed there through a big warm rain-after-snow event a bunch of years back, and was sleeping toward the falls end of Salish Lodge. Which was positively vibrating. It was weird and cool. No need for a white noise machine to sleep - that's for sure!

Yeah, I'm not bummed that we'll get some hard core consolidation of the snowpack. It would of course be awesome if the rain events happened early in the workweek, and then it would cool off and dump new snow in time for a safe, fun weekend.

OH dark and black of soul and lord of the underworld... ...I would GLADLY give my soul for 50 inches of nice powder SNOW, and NO lift line.
Just for one day Lord of Reptiles and the Coven of "Nickolas" Beelzebub and the mathematics of our lot 3 fire-circle, I promise you, my own deep soul and transience corporate body.
I now burn the straw to cleanse the sky for my BROTHERS to make the snow and save the day from the evil evil WARM weather.
(burns many clouds of smoke in honor of our Crystal mountain brothers and sisters to help make it snow)

wow.... been soaking up the "acid" rain??? wow.

Did you see the new forecast? Don't knock it, it seems to be working.

Reminds me of the classic "don't hit me me with them negative waves" lines from Kelly's Heroes.

With that in mind, I'll try to remember that the forecast for 6-7 days out tends to be about as accurate as a roll of the dice.
