i ll be going there in a couple weeks. snow has been flying the last 24, 48 hours. nothing sticky. maybe grassy surfaces, that would be about it, but the airport doing okay. and in fact right now things have wound down as far as seattle and bellingham are concerned. but we have another system on the way, so we re talking more snow for the mountains certainly. take a look at some of these totals. so we re look at wells creek, by the way, snotel sounds interesting. it s actually just an acronym for an automated system that you need because this thing is so high up there, that it s difficult to measure the know. 17 inches is what has been measured. we re talking over a foot in paradise, so we continue with some significant snow. we re talking higher elevation snow, but still it s early in the season. either way the ski resorts will be loving this. we ve had a couple systems rolling through and not another
aftermath of the hurricane s continuing to take its toll. so a continuous nightmare there in pourtd. t pourtd. t puerto rico. and the power grid was in need of repair even before the hurricane. and winter is getting a head start in parts of the western united states. and our meteorologist is here to tell us about that. ivan, getting cold. cold and white and snowy. and my goodness, we re barely out of halloween and already we re shoveling snow in parts of the u.s. too early. let s take you in fact to washington, it s not sticking that much, but just enough to get you in the holiday spirit or not. this is bellingham washington, almost on the doorstep of canada. this is what you do when you live in this part of the world. you go sledding when it snows. you don t bury yourself inside. and seattle, now that is dramatic stuff here.
