40 inches now!?  I sure wish I had a peaches ridge bull tag this year.

Sweet snow. 1-2 feet forcasted this weekend for cascades. That's not good news for the westsiders that are coming over Chinook as it might not open again this year. there  is 40 inches up there now.

Have you been up there? Almost four feet seems like quit a bit compared to other reports. Of course it does get kinda crazy up there, thank goodness for snoqualmie pass.

Hmm, maybe I should have put up more than 3 cord this year.  Now am nervous and wearing a coat in the house this morning instead building a fire, its only end of October for gods sake!  Come on Global Warming, Climate Change, Climate disruption or whatever the flavor of the year is! 

That being said, this snow should have the migrations moving if this weather holds.  Seems like winter comes early anymore.

Kinda glad I don't have a one man tent pitched up there.

I agree, I have been watching the animals and they have been acting like winter is coming a lot earlier this year.  Deer were putting on there winter coats, squirells went into overdrive early etc etc.  I should have made a couple trips over to the eastside to get some extra firewood this year.  Thats the problem with the wetside, if you don't cut enough early in the year your screwed later. 

They are talking about rain up high this weekend, if that happens with this snow we could be looking at some flooding over here on the wet.

After reading this post, I found myself wandering around the house like I was lost. I then realized how bad I wished I was elk hunting this coming week. This is the bad part of hunting in the muzzy season, we usually get hot weather and not the snow. I miss hunting in late october. I look forward to reading all your story's and seeing your pictures posted. Good Luck to all you going elk hunting and be safe.

Yep... it's here!

Looking out my back door, The Colockum has snow, the very top is white! I hunt lower, maybe a few extra elk are down in my area, not just the resident elk?  Come on Saturday! Good luck to all!

Chinook and Cayuse were closed last night according to the sign on the east end of Enumclaw.

Upper Manastash is currently white.

Looks like its not going to be white for long, most of the forcasts are showing the snow level back up to 8000' by Wednesday. It looks like elk season is going to be a wet one.
