Event: Snow Wheeling New Years day - Western Washington

[Nobody]

We will be going snow wheeling on New Years day. Haven't decided on a location yet, but it will probably be in Snohomish or Skagit county. We're going to try and do a snow run sometime after christmas too. So if anyone is interested, check in here. We generally try to hit the snow pretty early.

Still playing New Years day by ear.

Penciling in a run on Wednesday with some other Broncos. You're welcome to join of course. Waiting to see if they want to go North or South.

Do you know the status of Segelsen ridge? Word on the street is there is a forest service officer out there that isn't too nice to anyone. I'd really like to get out there this year if it isn't closed to wheeled vehicles.

Or if you know anything else that can get us over 4000 feet.

I am off all next week and would like to get out. I have only snow wheeled in the olympics dont know much about the other side of the sound.I live in Bremerton and wheel out on this side would like a new place to go

up past darrington gets to 4000 i think by white chuck... rat trap pass is accessible now too that should be good.

or close by is c-post in oso, or granite lake from the road after the gas station, thats 3800ft and usually untouched

mt loop hwy best bet is coal lake at 3800ft, green mt is good but usually tracked out. boardman lake is 3400ft and untouchd usually for lower

Things are shaping up for a great day Wednesday.

...WINTER WEATHER IS HEADING TO WESTERN WASHINGTON NEXT WEEK...

SEVERAL WINTER WEATHER EVENTS ARE COMING NEXT WEEK...INCLUDING THE
POSSIBILITY OF LOWLAND SNOW BEGINNING ABOUT WEDNESDAY.

FIRST UP IS SNOW IN THE MOUNTAINS TONIGHT AND MONDAY MORNING. THE
SNOW LEVEL WILL FALL TO AS LOW AS 1000 FEET...SO ALL MOUNTAIN
PASSES WILL SEE SNOW. THE AMOUNTS LOOK LIKE THEY WILL BE IN THE
ADVISORY RANGE...PERHAPS 6 TO 10 INCHES TOTAL.

THE SECOND WINTER WEATHER EVENT IS A MUCH HEAVIER MOUNTAIN
SNOWFALL PREDICTED FOR MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY. STRONG WESTERLY
FLOW ALOFT AND A MOIST AIR MASS WILL CREATE A CLASSIC HEAVY SNOW
PRODUCING PATTERN FOR THE MOUNTAINS. ONE TO THREE FEET OF NEW SNOW
IS POSSIBLE MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY. A WINTER STORM WATCH IS IN
EFFECT FOR THE CASCADES AND OLYMPICS FOR THIS EVENT.

FINALLY...AND POSSIBLY OF MOST INTEREST...THERE IS A CHANCE OF
LOWLAND SNOW BEGINNING ABOUT WEDNESDAY AND LASTING INTO THURSDAY
NIGHT. A DEEP UPPER TROUGH WILL SETTLE OVER WESTERN WASHINGTON.
PRECIPITATION WILL BE SHOWERY AND WILL DIMINISH BY THURSDAY.
HOWEVER IT IS LIKELY THAT AT LEAST SOME OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL
BE IN THE FORM OF SNOW. WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE 30S AND LOWS
IN THE 20S...SOME OF THE SNOW WILL STICK.

THIS SNOWFALL IS STILL THREE DAYS AWAY AND THE FORECAST COULD
CHANGE. THE PRECIPITATION CURRENTLY LOOKS MORE SHOWERY IN THE
MODELS RATHER THAN A WIDESPREAD SYNOPTIC SNOW EVENT. SHOWERS WOULD
IMPLY A MORE HIT OR MISS SNOW EVENT. STILL...LOWLAND SNOW IS
USUALLY A BIG EVENT AROUND WESTERN WASHINGTON...SO STAY INFORMED.

For the Wednesday run, we'll be meeting up in Monroe. Suggested meeting spots are welcome. Thinking 9am or so? Sound good?

[Nobody]

Wednesday run, meet at Safeway in Monroe at 9am.

I'm still not sure if Jacks Pass is open. We can always head up to Tonga Ridge. Looks like we should have some great snow wheeling conditions.
