However we could see dark clouds to the north through most of the afternoon.

What really interests me is that it apparently started snowing in the Seattle regions just when things cleared up here in Whatcom County. <br /><br />Early this morning my son & I "enjoyed" (not so much!) a run in Lynden, squishing through 9 miles of slush. Conditions worsened as we ran, dealing with sleet & icy wind. We assured ourselves that we were doing the right thing, getting our run out of the way early. <br /><br />Ahem. In downtown Bellingham at the moment (2 p.m.) it's a lovely, mild winter day. Sun shining, temps up in the low 40s, and only a slight breeze. Couldn't be farther from what I expected. Go figure!Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04850024758134899093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-54500245703046875532012-01-14T13:36:03.998-08:002012-01-14T13:36:03.998-08:00So accuweather.com says an historic Seattle snowst...So accuweather.com says an historic Seattle snowstorm is possible by midweek.
