Thanksgiving in Sequim with Snow?

Who knows? So far it looks like that Sequim will have 'white' Thanksgiving. On Saturday last week the first - unusual - snow flakes fell on Sequim , after Hurricane Ridge had already received a big load of the white stuff, meaning we will soon see whether the big winter project to keep Hurricane Ridge open 7 days a week and not just on the weekends, weather permitted, will work.

This is not the only challenge for this winter on the Olympic Peninsula. This early heavy snow fall - yesterday more than 8 inches in Sequim, Schools are closed today in Port Angeles and in Sequim! - is defintely a big challenge for Sequim town authorities to keep the streets open with snow ploughs thus prevent accidents and traffic jams. Anybody who needed to go through Sequim town yesterday knows what I am talking about. It was a challenge and those who made it back home safely and with no bumps to their cars, were very happy when they were back in their homes.

Our recommendation for this winter in Sequim. Make sure you have good tires. Best to put some winter tires on. Stock up with food and all the other household necessities. So you can sit back and relax by the fireplace when Sequim will be covered with more snow. Forecast for the Pacific Northwest speaks of a 'winter storm.' Remember it's a La Nina' yearand even moderate climate Sequim is supposed to see some tough winter. Be safe and Happy Thanksgiving in Sequim, WITH Snow.
