It started with a bang - November 5, Bullion Basin.

Then it got warm and dry - but we looked to the future... Nov 17.

Of course, it started dumping again. Dec 4.

Christmas brought warm temps and rain, but it finally got cold and snowy again. Sky at Snoqualmie Pass, Dec 29.

Still not a lot of snow on Mt Baker though - Jan 2.
