Late entry but it's here none the less...

November 6th, 2006 we had a pineapple express storm system move through, one of the most intense types of it's kind. It dumped over 10 inches of rain in the mountains, it was so warm that almost all precipitation in the mountains was rain. The Skykomish River in Goldbar crested at a record shattering 23.94 feet. Previous record was set on November 24th, 1990 at 22.49 feet.

Today, we have a seris of pacific storms moving in bringing high winds to the entire region and large amounts of snow in the mountains. theres 3 feet of snow up there now and another foot to two feet is expected by tomorrow noon.

I am still in the process of settling in at my new place and should be able to start daily updates again. Sometime in December I'll have a full weather station set up, they've come down alot in price over the past couple of years. It'll be a simple array with a anometer (records wind speed and direction) a rain gauge, berometer, humity and temprature as well.
