Forecast

Friday: Significantly increasing high avalanche danger above 4 to 5000 feet and considerable below further increasing Friday night.

Saturday: High avalanche danger above 6000 feet and considerable below and gradually decreasing.

Outlook Sunday: Considerable avalanche danger above 4 to 5000 feet and moderate below.

Snowpack Analysis

The second very strong storm of the week is upon us this Friday morning. A winter-like storm is moving across the Pacific Northwest Friday, already having deposited 6 to 10 inches of snow and bringing very strong crest level and pass level winds.

The previous strong storm late Sunday through Tuesday deposited 1 to 3 feet of snow along with strong winds. A gap of a few days between storms allowed for the old snow to mostly settle and stabilize. However, the new storm snow along with strong winds has rapidly caused a significant increase in avalanche danger.

Reports are already coming in Friday morning from control missions at Alpental at Snoqualmie Pass where soft slabs were easily ski triggered along with some natural slides as well near ridges. Most slides were about a foot deep involving the new storm snow, however some involved the earlier storm snow.

Surface hoar has been formed in many areas the past two nights and this layer may have been buried early Friday creating a new weak layer. Some sunshine and warming has also allowed a thin near surface crust to form on many east and southerly aspects and this may act as a sliding layer for avalanches, especially on loaded east facing slopes.

The current high avalanche danger is increasing Friday morning making backcountry travel in avalanche terrain not recommended at higher elevations.

Subject: SENTENCE STRUCTURE IS IMPORTANT

Why Sentence Structure Is So Important...

The boss had to fire somebody, and he narrowed it down to one of two people: Mary or Jack. It was an impossible decision because they were both decent workers. Rather than flip a coin, he decided he would fire the first one who used the water cooler the next morning.



Mary came in the next morning with a horrible hangover after partying all night. She went to the cooler to take an aspirin. The boss approached her and said, "Mary, I've never done this before, but I either have to lay you or Jack off."

"Could you jack off?" she said. "I feel like **** this morning."
