Freshies
Freshies... It's a skiers and snow boarders term for fresh snow mountain snowfall. More "Freshies" are coming to the Cascade mountains later this week. First a bit of review this time last week skies were clear the temperatures in the 70's. In the last 4 days of the month we went from a rain deficit to surplus. September 2007 was the wettest September since 1996.
Tuesday another in a series of early fall weather systems crashes ashore. The results will be more rain, a lot more rain maybe .75" in the next 36 hours. Behind the front much cooler air will arrive. Snow levels by Wednesday could drop as low as 3500ft. Lots of left over moisture means lots of snow possible "FRESHIES".
Extend outlook shows the cooler and showery pattern continues into the weekend. So what snows falls in the mountians will stay, at least for a few days. Not enough snow to ski on, but enough " pow-pow" (another skiers term for snow) to wet the appetite of most skiers and boarders.
