Lots of snow in my front yard, maybe three feet. More coming, they say.
I like snow.

Cheers,

Earle

No matter if you are even driving a tank....

Yep, lots of both happening all over. Of course where I am there is nothing
happening. Or at least nothing new. Part of Stevenson (next town up the road) is
falling into Rock Creek but thats been going on for over a year.

All the major flooding was either north of me (also the I-5 closure) or way to the
west - over an hours drive away on the other side of the valley and in the Coast
Range Mountians.

Its, well, <shrug> wet. Cold too. I hear they shut down I-84 due to ice way east of
here. They were getting freezing rain which turns the interstate into something
resembling a very very long ice scating rink. Rain which then freezes on everything
in very very thick coats.

Today I pittied the guys cleaning out the fish ladders and moving fish. It was awful
cold to be working in there, even with a dry suit and waders and stuff. Glad we were
staying above freezing. Its a hell of a time to be in the water, but....this is the
time of year we do maintenance.

The sheltered life I live -- I've never experienced sub-freezing
temperatures in daytime. Well, surely not later than an hour or so after
sun-up.

Subzero here today, but thanks to the Gulf Stream / Atlantic Conveyor /
Thermohaline Circulation / whatever I can live north of the latitute of the
bottom of Alaska albeit rather rainily, with the temperature rarely going
below minus 10 degress Centigrade.
