Well, we made it through the night without losing power and it is beginning to rain.
We’ll call this Phase II. The river will soon begin raging and the weak branches that were held in place with ice will begin falling and the wall will begin with its mini-avalanches of rock and boulder.
Let’s hope power stays on for a few days!!
Today must have been our 8th power outage within the town due to inclement weather. This one last about 10 hours, so if you think your buddies are ignoring your emails, they are not.
We have about 21″ to 23″ of snow in places in our yard.
Stay tuned.
Did I not just put out a short newsletter asking where the snow is? Oooops.
And it’s cold too. It’s currently 28 degrees and it normally drops another degree or two before 7am.
Well, I think in my next newsletter I’ll ask where the palm trees are. Maybe a couple of them will shoot up in town somewhere. 
This is a must sign PLEASE. If SOPA passes, the USA will no longer be a leader in the Internet War. http://fightforthefuture.org/.
Please sign this. I did and have not yet been spammed. Click on the Email congressman if you don’t want to call. The letter is ready to go.
Don’t be afraid to leave your honest information, otherwise the letter is not valid.
Thanks for supporting this.
Thanks to everybody who made this possible. We achieved over 4,000,000 hits this year.
Looking back to 2007 we had 200,000 hits for the year and it grew a bit in the following years but this year exploded!
Thanks again and if you’d like to see the stats, click HERE.
Happy New Year.

The North Fork of the Skykomish River (Index) appears to be pretty calm with all the rain we have been getting today and yesterday. It’s well below flood stage 2 so it appears we are safe.
View current flood stages HERE (updated every 15 minutes).
Many thanks to David Cameron, PhD for sending this link to us.
There was an earthquake yesterday in an area that folks say “will rarely have earthquakes” but that proves to be false.
The 1872 North Cascades earthquake near Entiat was the scene of the largest ever in Washington State.
Read the story. It’s excellent.

With November in full swing (wind, rain, a few dabs of slushy snow, snow on Index Wall off and on) it’s time for the weather watch.
Stay tuned to IndexWa.org (RSS Feed is a good way to remain updated) as we will once again begin posting the Weather Alerts as things roll in.
So far, so good. We read somewhere a while back that January is the wettest time for Index but in our book it’s November. Maybe the claim to January is from the snow.
Come join us in our latest poll: What Kind of Summer Did You Have (or are you having)?
You’ll find the poll HERE.
This post is just a reminder of the month of April 28, 2011.
Steven’s Pass got snow last night and today AND the Town Climbing Wall had snow early A.M. at about the 7-800′ level.
Again, this is just to reflect back a year or two from now.
