Snowvember 3 and 4, 2017

I was sitting at my desk and over my shoulder I heard someone say, "it's snowing!"  I was so surprised I said, what?  Really?  I don't recall reading or watching anything that said we were getting snow in the Puget Sound, especially this early.

I can not remember ever in my lifetime that it snowed in western Washington before my birthday.  The last time this happened was in 1973, ten years before I was born.

I drove out to Rainier the following day and they definitely got more than we did.  The chickens and ducks were running around in it.  We got a trace at our house and mom and dad definitely got at least an inch.

Some towns saw a trace amounts of snow while other areas experienced a foot or more according to the National Weather Service.  The snow is expected to move east through the weekend.

There were several blogs, news articles and even weather forecasters that said we could have an early snowfall in the mountains which in reality we really needed it after the Pacific Northwest was on fire most of the summer time.  We needed the snowpack for the upcoming summer.

A few days later we received a ton of snow on the pass and all three major passes were closed.  Maybe we will be getting more of a winter here on the west side?  I sure hope so.
