Long Winter :-(

[Coastfishin]

It sticks enough to put a finr layer on the rigs, then it will hail or rain, then it goes away. Then it starts again.
Right now it is 32 degrees outside.
Yea, I like the turd truck. Wife let get that for my birthday so I can tow the boat. 4.0 v-6 6-speed manual

Sweet truck you can't go wrong with Toyota...esp. the Tacoma's...did it stick at all or was it just melting upon application?

Toyota Sequoia's done all the boat pulling in the Kafelafish family. '03, V8, nearing 95k miles and it's got nothing wrong with it...Never had any major problems and it's still going good.

Noooo!!!! Its now 28 degrees in kent and is snowing!!!!!

[Coastfishin]

Toyota's are great. The red truck in the background is an 86 Toyota has 230k on it still runs like a top. I sold it to a friend after I got the new one

from komotv.com/weather:

Most of the snow fell across Southwestern Washington and the South Puget Sound area as an area of low pressure crossed the southern half of the state, although we had isolated reports of snow along the northern Olympic Peninsula.


Snow totals generally ranged from a dusting to 1", but the eastern Pierce and King County foothills got a little more as the snow stalled over the area. Reports from Bonney Lake, Enumclaw and Eatonville were anywhere between 3-4".


And believe it or not, a few spots of snow remain in the forecast for the next few days as a ridiculously complex pattern sets up shop, made even more challenging by the fact that if you think it's hard to get snow in January, it's much more difficult to get it in late March.

There is still some hope for Spring. Our tulips are up almost 3"

This winter is what skier's refer to as "having the storm door open". El Nino (spanish for little bastard that kills the snowfall) closes the door, La Nina (snow child) holds the door open, and years with neither, the door opens and closes at will.

Its been an odd year, thats for sure.

Im leaving for South Dakota as we speak, where they are expecting 6" between last night and this afternoon. Should be fun flying through Minneapolis in a snowstorm.

One person died on HWY18 this morning...

...POSSIBLE HEAVY LOWLAND SNOW EVENT TO AFFECT PORTIONS OF THE
WESTERN WASHINGTON TONIGHT AND FRIDAY....

...THIS WILL LIKELY SHADOW THE METRO CORRIDOR
FROM NEAR OLYMPIA NORTHWARD INITIALLY...BUT WILL NOT HINDER PRECIP
FROM DEVELOPING ON THE COAST...SW INTERIOR...AND HOOD CANAL.
VERTICAL MOTION/MOISTURE FIELDS ARE QUITE IMPRESSIVE ON THE
MODELS...RESULTING IN THE 3 TO 6+ INCHES OF SNOW ACCUMULATION
FORECASTED BY THE MM5 MODEL. THE BEST VERTICAL MOTION DEVELOPS THIS
EVENING AND OVERNIGHT...THEN WINDS DOWN IN THESE AREAS FRIDAY

As soon as I posted this message, it started snowing HARD in Spokane. Go figure!

I'm wondering. Has anyone ever quoted themselves before?

[kuttkilla]

This is my weather buddy...we get along together quite well...

[cavdad45]

Will it ever end?!?! Such agony!!!! I am praying for global warming so bad. Not this whimpy 2 degrees in a century stuff the media crows about, but peacock bass in the Columbia River. Dorado and Wahoo along the coast and in the sound.:bom:

[Coastfishin]

Cavdad, It was pretty nice on the WA coast today. The temp got up to 53. There may be hope!
