Coming to Whatcom county, November 9th -- the first snow run of the year up to Twin Lakes near Mt. Baker [B]When?

The 4000ft level is supposed to get 2ft of snow this weekend (the 2nd) and another foot or two next week. After the 9th, its supposed to stay cool and snow more, so I doubt we'll make it to the top if we wait until Dec.
