I think I've figured it out. Spokane has an elevation of (according to the National Weather Service) 1,850 feet. However, both north and south of Spokane the elevation increases to about 3,000 feet. The higher the elevation, the colder the temperatures, thus more snow.

Spooky, I think Willy pretty much nailed it, elevation.

Looks like most of the old crew has been around in in one thread or another the last couple of days. I even see some new faces here. I hope all are doing well. I see the forum has expanded a bit too. Anyone heard from our owner Jim lately?
Chad, Welcome back into the Diner, very glad to have you here;
As far as JHH goes;
CW was just on the phone with him. Other than working very hard, and a few
computer problems, he seems to be doing well.
(Duchess also!!!)
He did ask for EVERYONE to send him an email. He had to do a recovery and restore, and lost everything in his address book and this way he will have them to put back in.
For those that don't have his email address, send us a private email, and we'll furnish his that way.
Being Crazy,keeps you from going "INSANE" !! "The light at the end of the tunnel,has been turned off due to budget cuts" NOT AFRAID A Vet., and PROUD OF IT!!
Good Thursday morning, everyone! Looks like it's going to be another beautiful day! Coffee is on, and on the warmer bar this morning, you will find: turkey bacon, sausage, oatmeal, toast, scrambled eggs, fried taters, apple, blueberry, oatbran and raisin muffins, homemade buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy and bearclaws.
I also have hot water for tea and cocoa on, and there is also hot chocolate available this morning.
The saga continues:
The Great Wall of Lincoln is done!
Driver opened the back door this morning to go feed the squirrels and birds, gasped and said "oh, we have a bobcat at our back door"
Another new group of gentlemen piled two big piles of dirt in front of both garage doors, put rock all over the back yard, framed the yard, and proceeded to break the electric circuit to the garage. So even if Millie could climb the dirt, she can't get through the closed door.
Kinda reminds me of Xmas - 6 guys a working, 5 vehicles in the drive, 4 people trying to park somewhere in the drive, 3 piles of either rock or dirt, 2 landlords and the big finale - 1 tree stump remover also in the drive.
The dork still has not come back since Monday to retrieve his stump remover. And what will I do with it? It doesn't go in my static display at all - (Big Boy and an SW10 switcher)
I need a quiet nap - think I will wander down to the local aquarium and take up a spot by the fish tanks...

Moo...
Depending on your aquatic abilities if you spend enough time there you could be called a catfish.
CW I'll snag a bowl of that day old beef stew. It's gotta be good! How about some stroganoff and garlic bread for dinner or some other pasta dish? I had some pasta salad over the weekend and I'm craving some more!

Dan, I'm starting the beef stroganoff and a tuna pasta casserole (for anyone who doesn't feel in the mood for stroganoff tonight), right now. At about 6:00, I'll put the garlic bread and garlic Texas toast in the oven.
Supper is out on the warmer bar. Running a little bit late, but here it is. There's also homemade mashed taters to go with it, along with corn on the cob.
Joe and Lance, containers are ready in the fridge, for you lunches tonight at work.
Sorry I missed supper, but there's always room for apple pie.
Took the written final for my EMT refresher tonight. I honestly don't know how I did - which could be a good thing. About the time you take a test that you feel like you nailed, you flunk it....
Fire Department anniversary this weekend, then next weekend kicks off the season for the Adirondack Scenic, and I'll be "All Aboard!" It's all part of the show, and the passengers love it.
Glad to hear that you passed Tree...never doubted it!
CW thanks for the grub...good eats! I'm on a mission right now...to kill every weed in my yard! WAAAHAAA HOOAH ORTHO YEA!
Good evening.
Well, there are only three full days of school left! Those days and this weekend will be spent studying for exams. I think world history and chemistry will be my two hardest exams. Spanish and Theology will be the easiest. Geometry, spanish, and English will be in the middle.
Dan - It was said in here a few months ago that I have an evil laugh, but you're the one with the evil laugh when it comes to killing weeds!
Such a beautiful day here today in CR- keep 'em coming, Willy. I've been taking advantage of the weather and the fact that Joanie is feeling limber enough to drive herself to work, and I've been walking to work.
Dan, I spread the weed'n'feed about a week ago, and am enjoying watching the weeds wither away.
Looking forward to the big chancel choir concert this Sunday, then we're FREE for the summer!

Actually won't know for a month - it takes that long to get the results, since every EMT in the state took the test at the same time.
I don't have a weed problem in my yard - the grass is too high!
Good Friday morning, everyone! Had trouble getting into the forums this morning; otherwise, I would have been in about an hour ago.
Coffee, hot chocolate and hot tea are ready, along with fresh squeezed oj/oj-tangerine.
On the warmer bar, you will find fresh baked doughnuts, muffins, danish and bear claws.
Everyone have a terrific day!!
^OO^ Now that I have my other eye open.......so little time, so much trouble to get into....
Need to find someone to harrass.....
Where is Joe this morning? Where is a chicken when you need one!
Aquarium didn't work out - they put lids on on those food preservers....
I need some mischief!

We'll be having our FRIDAY FISH with a twist to it today. I've got the grill fired up, and grilling fish today: flounder, halibut, cod, perch, and even have some salmon steaks going on the grill. I did turn on the deep fryers for the fries and hushpuppies. Also have corn on the cob on the grill. And there is an ice cart on the patio with cole slaw and garden salads and soft drinks on it.
Desserts today: apple, cherry, peach and pecan pies, along with chocolate cake and brownies.
So everyone take a seat at the picnic tables, and I'll start serving.
