It's raining, it's pouring . . .

Rained all weekend and today it was really steady rain. Snowing in the Alpine, but the freezing level is pretty high. Whistler should be ok, but Cypress Mountain in Vancouver is struggling. they expect a high of 13 degrees C tomorrow, which is curtains for the snow pack. Fortunately they stockpiled snow from the early season dumps. According to the head of the Whistler Village, they will be able to push it down the slopes.

the good news: all the rain is melting the treacherous ice that was under foot. Now when it snows again, the village teams charged with snow clearing will have a clean base to start from.
Everyone is trying not to worry about the world coming to Whistler and instead of seeing a winter wonderland, see a typical foggy, rainy Pacific Northwest day.
