"They" are saying we're supposed to have a very warm and very wet winter, but I'm wondering. There have been lots of bizarre sightings of wildlife in urban/suburban areas, such as a cougar and multiple bears. Makes me wonder what they know that we don't.

I have now been watching the storm info on the WC, no mention of SNOW for us and only a possibility of it west of our area and only if the cold air mass does dip down. What they are warnign us about is the high winds and rain 3-5 inches !!!

Our house is ready...
the hoses are put up
the dog's water buckets are plugged in
the dog's heater (those ones that look like the old radiator heaters but filled with oil)
the trucks have antifreeze and de-icer in the windshield washer container
And the survival packs are stowed away in the trucks.
propane bottles and heaters are in the garage along with a propane stove.
and most important a small generator is on standby[/QUOTE]
Here in the Sunshine State, we prepare for different disasters, and we are thankful "Sandy" is passing us by. I forget just how much work preparing for winter is. But I do miss snow (sorry, Coyote, I used that four-letter word). Enjoy it for me. Non-stop sun gets boring.

Depends on where in the PNW ChasingHawk is... If she's on the eastern side of the state, or at a higher elevation, she very well could get a lot of snow. I live in the Portland Metro area, which is nestled in a valley, and it is very temperate here - snow that sticks is rare.

Last time I lived in Florida (Ft. Lauderdale area) was just before Hurricane Andrew hit. It's lovely down there, but I don't miss the humidity, mosquitoes and those flying palmetto bugs!
