In fact I'm in France, but my brother still live with his family in the Bellingham area. I heard him on the phone Sunday, he told me that the snow storm was quite big, he was in Mt Baker Saturday and they need 3 hours to come down at the end of the day due to the traffic congestion. Around Bellingham the I-5 was like a junk yard !

Sunday there was a foot of fresh snow in Ferndale, Monday the temperature was about 9°F !

I've been there 7 times and if I have to expatriate myself, my first choice would be between Vancouver & Seattle, the second would be Singapore. You live in a really nice place, we always love visiting our family right there. Even for our honeymoon-trip with my wife, we went to Bellingham before starting a 6000 miles road-trip across the USA (Washington/Montana/Wyoming/Idaho/Utah/Arizona/Nevada/California/Oregon/)
