We could accumulate 8″ over the next few days, and OSG could get more than that, living a couple of hundred feet higher.<\/p>\n
For those of you in the snowless south, it works like this: you figure the weather report, and you look at the elevation at which it will snow, versus rain: when it gets to 2000 feet, we tend to get snowed on. There’s a hill over by the airport: it would be raining at our old apartment, but then if you drove to the airport it would be snowing as you got to the hilltop. Here, we live on a hill, and past us it only gets higher.<\/p>\n
Conversely, they threaten you with snow, but it says elevation 4000 feet, which means only the top of Mt. Spokane gets dusted, way up there, but you’re going to get rained on.<\/p>\n
And snow here is so neat. In Oklahoma, when it snows, everything gets covered and it blows in drifts; but in Spokane wind is not a constant, and when I first moved here, the sight of neat green-grass circles around all the trees was puzzling until I realized that in Spokane weather does not blow sideways: it falls gently straight down, and the evergreen branches were holding all the snow.<\/p>\n
Life without a perpetual 20-30 mile wind going is just different.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
