The storm hit clear across Washington and got northern Idaho too. I have a
ranch up there. They are still without electricity and the wind blew down an
old shop building of mine. I'm going skiing at Grand Targhee in Wyoming
tomorrow and it's going to be about -6 F in the morning. The sun is supposed
to be shining so I don't care what the temperature is. Targhee gets a lot of
snow and has received 140 inches so far this year. Last year they got over
50 feet. It's tough living here but someone has to do it. /jmac

Race Rocks, a few miles west, reported gusts in the 150-160km/hr range.
No major disruptions here though. The weather was better today and the
drone of chain saws and chippers was everywhere. I think there is plenty
of moisture headed your way Jim Mac. Mt Baker has 10 feet of snow at the
base already this year and it's not even winter yet! Hope they get your
power back on soon Jim T. My daughter in SW WA reported that the power
came back on a couple of hours ago there. She was relieved as she
manages a retreat center and had to serve 65 guests without heat, lights
or water for two days.
