Very dry snow, but on top of an icy crust. We got a couple runs and a lot of tears (5 degrees is tough for a 4 year old who weighs 35 lbs all wet) and that's it.
All, be careful in the BC in the next few days. Lots of wind loading going on right now.
Be careful on the streets too. I slid my wife's minivan, and it has ice-rated winter tires. Of course, the !@$_!@&$!@$_%!@#$ guy who started right in front of my car helped me not drive as smoothly as I wanted. And he had the nerve to flip me the bird and yell when I honked to warn him we were about to collide. That didn't help with my concentration either. I guess having the $$$ to afford living on the lake doesn't necessarily mean decent persons.
The highway to Alpental was very decent, up and down, except for high winds and people driving in the wrong lane.

Eh, just pisses me off that they waited until 12:30 at UW to cancel school. I had a Bio Lab and couldn't leave until they canceled school. Anyways, ended up playing snow football after sledding down 54th (total carnage).
