RWD and blizzaks’ll do it just fine, too, viz your username.

awd + chains should be fine but practice putting them on before youre stuck on the side of the highway

awd + traction tire is even better

stick to i90 and check the wsdot twitter before you go

It's still quite early in the season so avalanches are unlikely to block hwy 2, though the bolt creek fire area could have some mudslides.

I'd just say keep an eye on WSDOT's website for hwy 2, but I don't think you should have any issues getting into town this weekend.

Alternatively, if hwy 2 does get closed for some reason, you could take I-90 to hwy 97 over Blewett Pass.

Awesome picture. Grew up in Suquamish and Poulsbo and miss those views. Nicely done with the trees, clouds and lighting.

Gross.

I'm no flag humper but it looks kinda tacky on a firehouse

I thought it was a joke. "Somebody tried to burn a flag, but that ain't gonna happen on our watch!"

This guys just perpetually frustrated don’t mind them

It looks like it's supposed to let up by Thursday morning...

But we booked a hotel weeks ago :(

What about with awd and chains?

Exactly. Interestingly, I freely drank unfiltered wilderness water for 20 years before the 1970 research with no problems. Then added those gagging iodine pills for the next 20, followed by a proper mechanical filter for another 20 yrs. A victim of hyped research and clever marketing? 🤷🏼‍♂️

I guess the sad alternative might have been my epitaph: “Here lies wilderness enthusiast JQ, killed by Giardia at 97 years old.” 🙄

I live In Leavenworth

Please don’t

Yessss. I’m coming home in a few short months. I hate the south/east. West coast, best coast. I think I may do this too.

Will it be possible to cross into Leavenworth this weekend?

I'm not working right now either, did you take a picture?

When I was a driver's Ed teacher, I told my students that the horn was the least used tool for most drivers. It's one of the best things to use and NEEDS to be used way more often! If they wouldn't honk, I would do it for them (if it wasn't a dangerous moment, of course). Drivers are especially apt to cut off drivers' ed cars to get in front of them, so I would warn them and tell them that they should honk if someone is making things dangerous for their driving.

Yay, so neat! I hope you get some pictures.

Me after spending two weeks visiting my parents in Florida

Spoke too soon. Started snowing again and now there's a winter storm warning for folks a little above our elevation. Not getting any work done but it's lovely.

I think it’s to maximize white space for the writing so they made puget sound tiny

My guess would have been Highway 2 but you then gave a lot of specific details that make me inclined to believe you.

Here in the Western foothills we have 3 inches and counting. So excited

Dang

This was my family after moving back from Minnesota to the PNW after 3 years lol. I about cried after seeing mountains again. Experiencing the midwest makes you really appreciate where we live now.

About an inch and a half. Rained for a bit. I expect it’ll clear tomorrow and snow a bit Thursday.
