Jim,

You are absolutly right, the DC does tend to suck all the heated air out and replenish the shop with nice cold air in the winter. I just turn up the heat for a bit and everything is OK. We even get down to freezing sometimes here in sub-tropical Buckley, WA.

Tom,

How much snow falls, or how much is on the ground at any one time? They are very different.

The official snowfall is about 70" per winter on the west (ocean) side of town , up to about 90" on the eastern (mountain) side of town, for lower elevations.

In terms of how much is on the ground at a time, lawns generall run between 12" and 18", occasionally to 2'. Some of the rest melts but most of it sublimes.

A typical winter day is low of 10-15F, high around 25F. Its often milder here than many parts in the northern "lower 48".

Jim

I'm sure it is. Our daughter and her family live on the eastern side of the Cascades and they freeze from mid-November til' the end of March.

We have "eastern" friends that freeze here in the middle of summer. Usually anywhere from the hi 60's to the hi 70's, except for today when it's boiling (for us) in the mid-80's. Must be global warmijng at last!
