yep it snowed in February

As I type we're at 11 inches and counting. We are right on the forecast margin here, as Longview is wet and most radar echoes are alternately painted white or green at our location. This is part of a warm front that may lift far enough north to switch us to rain - or maybe not. Then it swings back down again as snow. That part is pretty likely.

This cool retirement home is a fun place in winter, but I did accept a part-time job down below; it's awkward to call out as unavailable/snowed in.  Had the Fiat not been stuck on our driveway perhaps the Explorer would be tractioned up and ready to take me down the hill. Ah well - one does what one must.

An interesting side note:

February is the big-snow month here, at least since we got here. I'm much more accustomed to December as the big-snow month, as it was in 1968 and 2008 - but the top snow measurements here have been the past three Febs! Most of these values are consecutive-day measurements which makes it look more impressive - but every day with 5" or more has been in month #2.

Curious.
