Brutal Weather!

We are starting a Winter Seminar tomorrow on Mt. Rainier, and it has been snowing non-stop for days around here.  There is more snow on the ground here in Ashford than I have ever seen.  Which, Really could be said for just about everywhere in Western Washington this year.  Pretty amazing.  It should be fun to get up on the mountain.  We are all just a little stressed with the amount of snow that has fallen, whether the road to Paradise will be open on time, the avalanche hazard, and a freezing level that is supposed to jump up to well over 6000 ft!  Who knows though, maybe all the forecasters will be wrong and the weather will break!  It will certainly be great big mountain training!
