DANG!!! You guys get all the good weather and all we get is light rain and some snow. Our weather guy said that the cold front coming down the coast was tying into a moist stream our of the Pacific and this one is hitting you instead of the north coast...
I grew up with the cold stuff...staying away from it in my later years and it is coming after me.

AW tubebender, what you need is more wet snow, rain,gusts and a couple bottles of cool Rainere (?) beer.
