Title: West Side Rain?
Post by: WapitiTalk1 on September 08, 2015, 01:44:27 PM: Wait... what? I just looked at the 10 day forecast on TWC and it appears that we will have some liquid sunshine for a good part of the opening week on our side of the Cascades. A better season all around with the later dates and now, some cooling rain. Don't forget your rain gear ;)

That'll be nice. Rain can be a real downer.

I can't stay off this site because I'm so pumped for elk season.

You peeked my curiosity... in what way would they react to a cold snap? Good or Bad?
