The latest out of the Seattle media is that the impending storm is "life threatening." Them's pretty strong words. Click here to read their spin. Click the small graphic above to see a larger version. We've been reading a lot about this event all day. It's pretty substantial, that's for sure. The jetstream is as distended as I've seen it in a long time. Meanwhile, there's a really solid tropical moisture feed on tap--in fact they are calling this a "major extratropical storm." It sure looks promising. As I write this the Olympic Peninsular is under a blizzard warning. Go to the Seattle NWS and click on their Powerpoint presentation. If you have Flash player, the show has audio, too. Seattle is really hunkering down.
Meanwhile Up in the Idaho Panhandle, this last round smacked hard:
Wednesday and Thursday dropped a total of 33 inches of snow on Coeur d'Alene, breaking a two-day record of 20 inches set in 1922.
The storm also broke a record for the most snow during a 24-hour period in Coeur d'Alene as 25 inches fell between 8 a.m. Wednesday and 8 a.m. Thursday. The old 24-hour record was 16 inches in 1955. Records have been kept since 1895.
