With all due respect — the snow in those (Valdez) photos are nothing near what we have in Spokane - at least yesterday.

I have had over six feet fall in my area north of town.

Big thaw going on as I type.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it snows up north in the winter. Call Algorebot to melt it slowly so floods don't occur.

Here is a real trooper when it come to weather. Keep in mind that the tornado is about two miles away (before they RAN away!). This is a big'un.

Did I mention that we dipped below freezing one night?

If you go to the photo gallery on at that link and scroll down to Year 2006 and click on the photos from Hastings and Kearney, you will see pictures of what I was out in the middle of from around 11:00 pm of the night it began till almost 48 hours later. I work for a cell phone company and we had a combination of power outages and generator failures. You can still see evidence of the ice damage in the tree lines as you drive around.

Then, I got to outrun the next storm coming in so I could make it to Phoenix before my dad passed away. Needless to say, anytime we have a weather pattern that goes from rain, to freezing rain I start to get a bit of a nauseous feeling. When it's all done, and the sun comes out, it truly is beautiful, but the damage it does is astounding.
