ARRL DX CW is less than a week away, and our typically mild northwest weather has turned cold and snowy with no end in sight! Accumulations in my yard are anywhere from a few inches under trees to 13″ in shaded areas.
The chain that turns my tower is presently locked in place with ice and snow. It’s supposed to warm up later this week, but turning cold at night with snow in the forecast each day. Unprecedented for our area, especially in February.
Snow on top of more snow! 
Chilly north wind blowing keep temperatures in the high 20’s during the day and low teens at night.
