Typhoon Songda may have been kind of a letdown if you were expecting widespread power outages, having to eat all that weird food in the back of your pantry and being able to justify doing nothing but watch How to Catch a Predator all weekend. It certainly was a letdown for the people behind the Yelp page for the storm.
But hey, there's snow on the ground at Timberline Lodge right now. You can see it on their webcam.
According to their current conditions, it's 32 degrees and snowing and there's been 11 inches of new snow in the past 72 hours.
"Snow fell in the low elevations overnight! A nice blanket of snow all the way down Molly's this morning," their site reads. "Season Passes are on sale now — Be sure to take advantage of our early bird season prices. Do your snow dances!"


We asked John Burton, Timberline's spokesman, what this meant for the opening date of ski season.
"All I can say is November openings are very common," he says. "But you never know, it's opened earlier than that before."
Last year, Timberline opened early November and Mt. Hood Meadows opened in early December.
