It's been a month of crazy weather. The northeast and midwest is getting pummeled with snow, while the west is enjoying balmy temperatures. Lack of snow is closing slopes near Seattle, including Snoqualmie and Stevens.
Last year around this time, it was in the 30s-40s in Seattle, colder on the slopes, and there was a great snowpack for most of the season. This is pretty much the complete opposite. The temperatures on the passes are well above freezing, and the rain that has been falling has pretty much wiped out any snow cover that's fallen this season.
I'm not a snow sports fan by any means, so I'm not partial to high or low amounts of snow on the mountains over the winter season. But, I really lament people losing their jobs because of a wacky twist in the weather.
