Where did the snow go?

After seeing record breaking snow fall depths (20 inches in one day in Spokane; 36 inches in Coeur d alene) the end of December I imagined this was going to be the best ski season ever! But as the month of January ends I was proven terribly wrong. With the high pressure systems rolling through the PNW no snow has shown up in our area since that memorable December storm. However the blue bird days have been endless. And nothing beats driving above the foggy and dreary valley of Spokane to meet the sun's welcoming rays.
