Wow! A system came down from the frozen north today, bringing wind and a descending thermometer down to about 50 now in extreme northwestern Washingon State.. Lots of snow piling up in the North Cascades Mountains, but here at seaside nothing like that, just rain.
I'll bet places like the Arrow Lakes of BC or Lake Roosevelt in northern Washington have big whitecaps today, even if they are just lakes. Then there's the wicked Columbia entrance into the Pacific. The Columbia River book tells of attempted entries of big ships into the river that ended in loss of life and sunken ships. Not so much any more after building of certain breakwaters and aids to navigation, but from the headland museums above, it's still impressive to watch.
