12" of Snow–Winter Strom Warning

2011-02-28T07:16:00.001-08:00

News Flash: Winter Storm Warning Update

Through the night the Leavenworth Upper Valley received over twelve inches of snow far exceeding the seven inches of snow forecasted for the nighttime accumulation. It looks as if winter is just getting started and there is little sign of the snow letting up.

Many people in the Leavenworth Upper Valley have said, since last spring we have been running about a month behind in our norm for weather. Add to that theory the snowfall over the last few days, especially with the winter storm that hit the Plain and Lake Wenatchee area.

“The snow we’ve received lately is more like the snow storms we normally get in January. And if that’s the case we could get a lot more snow throughout March”.

February snowfall in the Leavenworth Upper Valley is normally modest amounts but could add up to a few feet. Which means Plain and Lake Wenatchee area could still receive record snowfall for the month of March. Visitor and local residents should anticipate an extended winter and sudden snow storms.

Winter is Still Here, More Snow

2011-02-27T12:40:00.000-08:00

Over the last few days the Leavenworth Upper Valley has received more snow. Accumulations have been totaling a two to three inches, however today we have already received two inches. Weather forecast is for snow accumulations of three to seven inches and another three to five inches tonight.

For current weather information click the link below: http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?CityName=Plain&state=WA&site=OTX&textField1=47.7628&textField2=-120.656&e=0

Don’t put away those skis, snowshoes or snow machines; winter is not over yet. Some of the areas that have been closed in past weeks are now open – however some of these areas come with warnings. Pay close attention to all warnings even if they are not for the area that concerns you. Outdoor conditions can change at any moment including avalanche and storm conditions.

Come and enjoy the Leavenworth Upper Valley and remember we still have winter conditions.

Leavenworth Upper Valley

2011-02-23T07:39:00.001-08:00

The Leavenworth Upper Valley is receiving snow for the second day in a row. Yesterday the Upper Valley received 1 1/2 inches of snow as winter season tries to hang on and deliver more fun with fresh snow.

Today it is snowing and the Upper Valley has already received about 1/2 inch of fresh snow this morning. The new snow has blanketed the area providing a beautiful backdrop and may allow for more snowshoeing and cross country skiing.

Current forecast is calling for snow off and on the rest of the week with a storm expected to leave up to four inches of snow on Thursday.

Remember, winter driving conditions are still in effect and people should drive accordingly. Even if roads appear to be clear of snow, there is a chance of black ice or frozen slush on the highways.

More Snow In Forecast

2011-02-17T07:24:00.000-08:00

Winter has not given up yet. Weather forecast shows we should be receiving snow off and on for the next week. We received about a 1/2 inch of new snow last night and are expecting more; not a lot of snow but more.

With weather temperatures reaching close to forty degrees over the last two weeks, most people were thinking winter maybe be over and we are heading into an early spring. This may still hold true but for now… Snow is in the forecast.

The light dusting we received last night added a beautiful blanket covering tree branches giving the area a look similar to the beginning of a winter season. However, with blue sky already this morning, it is more like an early spring snow.

Leavenworth Events – Snow is Falling

2010-01-24T22:39:00.001-08:00

News Flash – Snow is falling in the Leavenworth Upper Valley.

Is winter here…again? Lately Leavenworth and the Upper Valley has experienced unusually warm temperatures for this time of year and a lack of snowfall, instead receiving rain. Today all of that has changed. Low temperatures of near twenty degrees, weather reports were suggesting snowfall with the incoming moisture.

As of 12:00 pm, noon, it began to snow. Ten hours later the snow is still coming down with approximately 4 to 5 inches of fresh white fluffy snow. Unfortunately the snow did not come on Friday providing a perfect winter weekend for those venturing out to Leavenworth. Instead the snow came as most weekend guests were on their way home or debating as to when would be the best time to leave.

Should this rate of snowfall continue, the Leavenworth Upper Valley could see up to twelve inches of fresh snow by Monday morning.

It appears, that just maybe, possibly winter has returned to Leavenworth and the outlying areas.

Drive care, enjoy the winter, be prepared for winter conditions.

Leavenworth Events – Hwy 2 Closed!

2010-01-14T19:44:00.000-08:00

News Flash!! – News Flash!!

Highway 2 is closed from Coles Corner to west entrance to Leavenworth, WA. A large boulder has fallen onto the highway blocking both lanes. The boulder has been compared to a Semi-truck. The boulder is so large it is blocking from the guardrail, across both lanes to just a couple of feet from the hillside. We were told the Department of Transportation (DOT) will have to blast the boulder into small pieces before it can be moved. This could take several days.

Highway 2 is not expected to be open until late Saturday or Sunday.

If you are planning a trip to Leavenworth this weekend, be aware the detour will add approximately thirty to forty minutes to your travel time.

The detour uses Highway 207, left on to Beaver Valley Highway (old highway 209), up and over Beaver Hill and down the Chumstick Highway. These roads are well traveled whether it is being used as a detour or normal traveling for local residents. Expect delays due to additional traffic and some drivers not knowing the road.

Many hotels are already booked so if you do not have lodging secured, do so before traveling to Leavenworth. Stevens Pass is also expect to be very busy which will add to the number of people requiring lodging.

This weekend is the annual Ice Festival which should be a lot of fun for the whole family despite the closing of Highway 2.

If you have any questions, contact your lodging facility or contact the Leavenworth Chamber of Commerce. For road closure information contact the Department of Transportation.

Winter Has Arrived!

2009-11-28T07:22:00.001-08:00

Winter has arrived, although it is not technically here, the weather tells a different story. Again the Leavenworth Upper Valley is receiving snow, for two days in a row.

If you are adventuring to Leavenworth or the Upper Valley in the coming days, remember to be prepared for winter driving conditions. This time of year the weather can change without notice. Unfortunately, this time of year it is very difficult to predict the weather.

Accommodations in the area fill up quickly, so if you are planning to spend the night, be sure to book your accommodations before you travel to the area. Christmas Lighting Festival weekends are almost here and most places require a minimum two night stay on the weekends.

Drive safe and enjoy your trip to Leavenworth and the Upper Valley.

Leavenworth Events, Announcement Page

2009-11-02T06:14:00.000-08:00

Leavenworth Events is considering doing a wedding announcement page. Nothing big, super fancy, just basic but classy. The page would have basic information: bride’s name, groom’s name, wedding date, location, arrival time and ceremony time, reception location, with start and end time.

We will not be listing the type of foods but rather what guests should expect, ie: brunch, lunch, dinner, appetizers, cake and coffee. We will also list things such as “dancing after” etc.

Possible additional information: place of wedding registry, honeymoon destination, alcohol or non-alcohol reception, vendors names, photographer, DJ, dress shop, hair stylists, musicians, any special event during reception ie: money dance, bride/groom auction, money tree, etc.

The wedding announcement page is still on the drawing board. When and if it becomes available, LE Staff will post to the blog more information including links to the announcement page. Some ideas or issues are still in the discussion stage. One of these ideas is how to make the page available to the public (bride and groom). The page may be only available to our sponsors for a fee or part of their ad contract. If that’s the case, then the venue would set their own price (if any) and all direction would come from the sponsor.

Leavenworth, Plain, Trunk or Treat

2009-10-27T21:29:00.001-07:00

Mark your calendars if you haven’t already, the annual Trunk or Treat is coming up fast! Halloween falls on a Saturday this year so no excuses not to be there. As always the Trunk or Treat will be held in the parking lots of the Plain Grocery and Plain Hardware Store. This is a safe way for you and your kids to have fun. Be sure to dress warm, with weather conditions so unpredictable this year, you need be prepared for anything.

Don’t forget to bring a flashlight and make sure the little ones will be easily seen while going from trunk to trunk. Bring a little change so you can get that cup of coffee or hot chocolate to warm up from the inside out.

Trunk or Treat has really started to become a community social, so come on out, bring the kids, bring the neighbors and have a good time.

Leavenworth Winter Driving Conditions

2009-10-25T21:28:00.000-07:00

For those of you that haven’t heard, Leavenworth Upper Valley has already received the first snow of the year. Traditionally, we look for snow on Halloween, however this year, we received the fluffy white stuff about 3 weeks early.

Over the last forty years, we have received snow only a couple of times this early. Unpredictable, out of the norm, wetter than usual.

These are all things to consider when driving the passes. Be prepared! Carry an extra change of clothes, heavy coat, a blanket, road flares, first aid kit, tire chains, a good spare tire, flashlight and drinking water.

Check weather forecasts before leaving on your trip, drive with a full tank of gas, check fluid levels, winterize your vehicle, and check tire pressure. And let someone know your plans and keep in contact with them during your trip; call them when you arrive, when you leave and when you return.

Be safe! Drive smart!

Halloween Party for All

2009-09-28T20:56:00.000-07:00

Halloween - Trunk or Treat

It's that time of year again, Halloween! This is the 4th annual "Truck or Treat" event; come one - come all. For kids and adults! On Halloween, come to the parking lot of Plain Grocery and Plain Hardware Store. Bring the kids, visit the "trunks" of all the cars and trucks for a safe and sane, well, maybe not "sane" Halloween. The trunks will be loaded with treats for all the kids. This is also a great time to socialize. Adults gathering, kids getting treats, what more could you ask for?

Maybe a cup of hot cider and cookies at Plain Grocery, great conversation from neighbors, or stories by District 9 Firefighters. Ask the Firefighters about their new rescue unit to be delivered earlier this year.

Mick and Trish Lamar are gathering local businesses and firefighters to help the kids have a fun and safe Halloween.

Hope to see you there!

Fire District 9 Auxiliary

2009-09-08T17:04:00.000-07:00

Community Pulls Together

Leavenworth Events. Com would like to thank the Chelan County Fire District 9 Auxiliary and volunteer Firefighters. This years (like every years) annual Yard Sale and Bake Sale hosted by the Fire Auxiliary is greatly appreciated beyond words.

The time and effort put into the annual Yard Sale is obviously time consuming and exhausting but very beneficial to the community. The time and energy for the Yard Sale does not just start a few days before Labor Day weekend. The preparation for this event is on going all year long.

Collecting items for the Yard Sale, organizing and publicizing the event starts shortly after the previous years yard sale. Donated items are collected all year long from community members and from visitors to our area.

Being a member of the Fire Auxiliary or Fire Department is not just a “job”; it is a commitment to the community and the people who visit our area throughout the year. And it is all volunteer. Countless hours, numerous phone calls, driving back and forth from here to there, the work is endless and can go on and on.

A special thank you goes out to the whole community for their support, to those who participate in supplying items for the Yard Sale and Bake Sale, donations from businesses and donations from purchases made at the Yard Sale and Bake Sale.

Money raised at this and other Auxiliary events goes along way for supporting our local Fire Department and Community.

A very special “tip of the hat”, thank you and respect to the Auxiliary who are often unseen but heroes none the less.

From volunteers supporting their community and a community supporting their volunteers, we at Leavenworth Events thank you all.

News Flash: Featherwinds Nursery Closed

2009-03-22T17:41:00.000-07:00

News Release from Featherwinds Lodging, LLC. Issued 03/22/09

Unfortunately, Featherwinds will not be operating their nursery this year. Normally, in the past, Featherwinds has operated Mountain Bounty Nursery. This is a nursery the owners and staff of Featherwinds started several years ago. With the growing demand from local and visiting friends and guests, Featherwinds increased its growing operation by over 200% from each previous year. Unfortunately, we will not be operating our nursery this year; fortunately it is because of our commitments to weddings, events and retreats scheduled for this spring, summer and fall. These commitments have to take precedent over our growing operation. We will not be taking down our "green house", "holding area" or our "sales area". We have not decided if closing the Nursery will be for just this year or if is going to be a permanent closure.

Thank you for your understanding and thank you for making our Nursery one of the biggest and most successful in the area.
