In middle CA, the SF Bay Area, we are supposed to be hit with a Pineapple Express late tonight (Tuesday) and tomorrow, which is expected to bring up to 8” of rain. The wind is blowing strong now, and I have decided to “work” from home tomorrow. On glass three of vino.

on my cul-de-sac i was the only driveway you could move on yesterday until i cleared my neighbor's last night, the rest had a solid 3 feet of snow blocking.....getting harder and heavier by the minute. it's all 3-5 acre parcels with typically long driveways.
we only had a brief power outage Monday night, but otherwise our neighborhood is fine. typically we are more vulnerable to tree limbs on power lines during wind storms.
i have an NG Generator for outages which we do get sometimes for extended periods.
Off the Sound we received far less than inland, but still enough to make things crazy. One thing we have here over a lot of other areas are the hill and mountains which make things a challenge. Despite the weather, I have kept the Hummingbirds fed and music playing.

That's way more than us, twice as much more. But it is also @ higher elevation.
I'm not much higher than ocean level here. Higher I go up the back mountains the much more snow. In your link they mentioned 53 inches of snow.
"In addition to the heavy snow, the town was dealing with an influx of stranded drivers who were awaiting crossing Snoqualmie Pass. Some 53 inches of snow fell atop the pass over a two-day period, leading to extreme avalanche danger and an extended pass closure."

We feed the critters year round. Our deck is about 20' off the ground and there are several squirrels (Douglas red and Western gray) that climb up and get the trail mix we leave for them.
We have several hummingbird feeders and the wife brings them in every night so they don't freeze!
and have so far seen:
Stellar jay
Black-capped chickadee
Brown-backed chickadee
Varied Thrush (4-5 at a time!)
Northern flicker (3-4 at a time)
Spotted Rufous Towhee
House finch
Dark-eyed junco
and I'm probably missing others... we're enabling!!!
