The Pineapple Express


Sunday evening John Larsen, Gregg and I climbed up Pyramid. We thought maybe there would be some powder from the previous storm. But no go - all ice on top. It appears there was a spike in the temperature right at the end of the previous storm that coated everything with ice. Still the views were spectacular. In this view you can see the next storm approaching. It struck with a vengance - yesterday we got 3.4 inches of rain in town.

We are now stuck in a cycle of warm storms - The Pineapple Express - as the weathermen put it. Each one has been progressively warmer. Still we are getting snow up high. Today I climbed up in the rain and we had new snow at 1200 feet. So we are finally getting that much needed snow up high on the mountains. And it is most definetly not blowing away. (PGS)

What about skating, Riverrafting, Shooting high powered rifles at stuff, Sailing, or Kayaking? In the interests of kicking it up a notch, we decided to stick to just the most exciting options like breastfeeding, and Mike Pfeffer stories. Although high powered rifles do some awesome stuff!
