Hmmmm. Looks like a lovely day to NOT go skiing.

White Pass Ski Area - White Pass Conditions

It's 45° and pouring rain. . . Any snow we had in our field is receding fast, and I'm sure it's peeling off the mountains at a rapid rate.

It'll be interesting to watch the creek and river levels in the next couple days.

I don't mind these temps, heck, it stayed winter here till June last year, but this wet Pacific pattern is going to get old quick. Hope it peters off in April sometime. :msp_unsure:

Nope, cuz you'll have to cut them before they get big or they won't fit the mill.

Long-butts make it easy to meet CWD requirements. Don't ask me how I know that.

We needed rain fall but not all at once, unloaded two trucks from upnorth that had to make the around down I.5 to 199to 197 to get here and back out, because 101 north is closed below port-awfull and 197 now has a slide on it, rain wet wet wet .

 

[RandyMac]

yeah, wet, 2.81" for yesterday, 2.42" since midnight, more on the way. Breezy too.

what we get on the flats here could be doubled in the hills.

It's just a shame the rain gods can't figure out a way to send some of it to Colorado and Texas.

 

[RandyMac]

Long range forecasts suggest that we can expect one of these soakers a week, well into April.

Here is the line up.

We are currently being treated to intermittent squalls.

 

[HorseFaller]

First day at demoted position was wet very very wet and windy. Being a Friday no one wanted to be there. Processor broke, trucks got turned back, shovel operator left, processor fixed, road change and we was gone.

Yup...but you made wages.

 

[bitzer]

Yep.

Got to say its nice to be at an outfit that is concerned on safety. Not so sure about the having to wear bug-eyez goggles over my prescription side sheild equipt safety glasses. But that's what the long fiber timber owners want.

Just remembered this. So Friday we started at 6:30. This is after a two hour drive. We got told they found eagles nesting near by. So now we can't start till 8:30. So that means we are not done till 4:30. That means I won't be home till almost 7ish. The next setting will be fine cause it's a mile away, we haven't seen any stumps good enough for guy lines yet.

We took a pounding this afternoon, a line of squalls came in, SE winds in the 50s, gusts to near 70.
Looks like we are going to get the backside of the hook later, could get noisy.

Yup, we got pounded late yesterday, first time in years we lost roofing, about 9 shingles then lost 30 foot of fence . I had to tie the 5 foot pine down to keep the little guy from screwing out of the ground :frown:

White Pass got 36 inches of new snow since Friday. Just looked out and there's some sleet mixed in with the rain. I'm at 1000 feet.

 

[RandyMac]

I am hoping for real April showers. We got almost 18 inches of rain in March, 10" above the average.

 

[carym2a]

Have take 1/2 day off to fix the roof after all the fun that hit us saturday, but the sun is out so it should help the repairs along.
