What is the temperature? It's 49 and raining here.

It was just about freezing when the picture was taken, although it had
gotten up to about 39 for a high that day. We have had the strangest
winter ever. Last year we had about 170 inches of snow fall (we normally
average about 130 inches), Spokane broke the all time snow fall record
last year with a little over 93 inches. So far this season we have only
gotten about 25 inches of snow. Nothing on the ground at this time and
they are talking temps in the mid 40 through the weekend. Maybe we aren't
going to have a winter this year!?

I heard something about this the othere day on one of the weather channels.
It seems that this is an El Nino year, so the cold is headed South and
Southeast and meeting up with the moist air heading North and Northeast from
the tropics or something like that. Short answer, we in the East,
Mid-Atlantic, and Northeast are getting hammered whilist you Northwestern
weenies only get relatively cold rain for a while.

Nothing to worry about, I'm sure (not really sure in the certain sense of
the word) everything will be fine by next year this time. We can only stand
more than 30+ inches of snow a year, once in a blue moon and that has
already occurred this year and isn't supposed to reoccur for another blue
moon :~^ )
