"snow storm" = 2" of snow with ice

How about I pray for snow in the northern Rockies where it is really needed. Hopefully some of it will fall for you on its way there.

Why does the Northern Rockies need it more than any other place?
The snow strom was fun until I needed to go back to my Uni, then it was hell(made it out on the last flight to leave PDX for what was it? 3 days?). I'm fine with a storm, as long as it's over by January 1st so I can leave the state.Originally posted by: RossMAN

They are right in the middle of a severe drought. A vast majority of their yearly moisture comes from the winter snowpack.
Edit: This is a map of Boysen Reservoir. The water level is so far down from the drought that there is no longer any water where the highway crosses the lake in the south. The current shoreline is ~1 mile north of the highway, meaning the lake has receeded >3 miles to the north! Take a look at how big that lake is to get an idea of how much water that is.
Wyoming Basin Outlook Report June 1, 2004 - Boysen Reservoir is storing about 66 percent of capacity 393,600 acre feet) -- normally the reservoir is at 81 percent of capacity at this time of the year.
This means that it is currently down 5,700,000,000 cubic feet, or 0.04 cubic miles. :Q That is a lot of water.
