WINTER!

From whistlerblackomb:

418cms have fallen so far, smashing our record for all time snowiest November!! The avalanche danger is currently high to extreme...

From avalanche.ca:

An intense pacific system will reach the coast today bringing heavy precipitationand very strong winds starting this evening. Coastal areas can expect 40-50cm of snow tonight, while inland areas may see 20-30cm. Mountaintop winds will be very strong from the S-SW, with gusts over 100km/hr. The freezing level should be at around 1000m tonight, rising to 1500m on Thursday. The snow continues to fall with an additional 30-50cm on Thursday and 20-40cm on Friday.

It's deep. November to remeber. Blah blah blah. (Obviously I haven't been up there yet.) Be careful out there.

NMN

Nomeansno at their peak from back in 1990. I've seen this band live more than any other since I started going to shows in the 80's. They're still at it too - touring right now, playing new songs. This era of the band with Andy Kerr on guitar has got to be my favorite though. This footage is from one of the two shows taped in Europe for the Live & Cuddly record. For years I pictured what that concert must have looked like and then last year these clips started appearing on youtube synced with the audio from the record. You can't really see much of John Wright's drumming here but his skills are amazing. If you're anywhere near Tacoma or Bellingham this weekend go see them. They're getting pretty old (hell, Rob is old in this video), but they still rock out.
