Be careful out there. Wet sloppy stuff just starting to accumulate in my neck-o-the-woods.

How 'bout you?

Snow in Oly. Nice and slushy, just in time for it to freeze tonight.

Inch and a half here and still coming down! Surprised it hasn't burned to rain yet.

Fish on...

Had a little rain, but still no snow. Hope it holds off until after we're done spawning coho tomorrow

Just shy of 2" here this am. Also had 52 Canada geese pitch into the back yard while it was still a winter wonderland. Somebody must have given 'em a copy of the waterfowl regs to gander....

News weather folks saying up to 5 inches out your way tonight. Could be a bit dicey and chilly at the hatchery in the A.M. It's 34F and dropping here.

-22 at my place this morning. Snow has been falling for a few months now. At least I got to see the sun for about two hours today. December in Alaska...

No. I do not abide nor subscribe. I did Michigan for 8 years. While not Alaska cold, it sucked. I'm far too skinny for that nonsense. I suppose I could put up with it for a couple of weeks at hunting camp or whatever. For months on end? Nope. Out.

Ended up with a couple of inches on the deck this a.m. Pretty cold spawning coho this morning at the Dungeness hatchery. Some of the biggest coho I've seen in a number of years came back to the hatchery this year. We put 400+ adults and 300+ jacks back into the river for nutrient enhancement today.

-22 is doable, 2 hrs of daylight....maybe not so much.

Agreed. I put up with sub-zero temperatures for weeks at a time living in tents as part of my day job in the early spring and summer. The solar effect makes a huge difference. This time of year, well it just plain sucks in most parts of this state.

22 here this am, which is about as cold as it ever gets in these parts. Par for the course, my gas boiler went out on me 2 days ago and the house is freezing. The dogs and I have been curling up on the couches in front of the fire the past couple of nights. If the HVAC guy can't find the correct replacement part, I'll probably have to get a whole new system. That's cool though - it's not like I needed that $8 grand anyway. Everyone is getting boiler parts for Xmas this year! YAY!!!!

I live in zip code 98520 for many reasons, but 1 of those reasons is "not much snow and not much cold weather"

I did the cold, Korea 1958-59, heavy equipment operator, bull dozer ...Inchon on temporary duty, just happened to be winter time. We were building road to top of a "high hill" for a Nike launch site. It got so cold that the "pony engine" would start but when trying to turn the diesel engine over....just couldn't do it. Work around was leave one bull dozer run all night, then use to push start the other bull dozers....

Other TIME, my college experience, 1964-68 was done in Spearfish, South Dakota, Northern part of the Black Hills. First year there it got to -39, AND THE WIND WAS BLOWING. Poor old 1963 Ford, no garage, had to be towed to get it started....

I'll take the little bit of snow and the "in 20's cold.....leave all the big snows and the bitter cold to "others".

Stay warm......mmmmmm to wood heat....

The white stuff is falling pretty thick the past hour in 98520... cold enough to stick.

I checked the radar and it's on its way here now...it's well below freezing here, it's gonna pile up a bit tonight, calling for three or four inches...but may turn to rain before it's all done.

Fish on...
