Think Gloomy! Think Snow!

You gotta love this whirly-gig. Three cheers for the AOML! (Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory.) They invented it or stole it from someone else. Either way, it’s mine to look at.
Speaking of looking, pick your view: Atlantic Ocean Satellite, Gulf of Mexico Satellite, Tropical Atlantic Satellite, Western Hemisphere Global Satellite.
We’ve got winter storm warnings! Yippee! It’s time for more moisture or we’re doomed. Our whole state needs water—desperately even. I don’t know how wet this storm is gonna be, though. All the upcoming snow forecasts say 2-3 inches. But at least the storm stretches out a ways. All the days look gloomy through Thursday of next week. Here’s our wonder map link: Mount Shasta is that big white blob.
Poor Mount Shasta–it needs snow. The ski park needs snow. Our economy needs snow. Wanna see a web cam report and some pics from the park itself? All in all, the peak looks bleak.
