I hate the fall!

In Seattle the warm weather, rain and early darkness makes October and November especially tough to handle. No skiing yet, and any outdoor activity risks ending in a soggy mess. We've been lucky the last month to have mild temperatures and minimal rain - and the good news is that the snow level is finally dropping to about 4300' this week and there's precip coming with it. People are reporting good conditions on Mt. Rainier and with another week or two of precip, a skin up to Muir will be in order.
