For all our friends and family that don't live in Washington State, we had a snow storm !!! Oh did we. It all started around December 17th. Here are some of the details that were reported. Spokane Transit canceled all bus routes at one point, and then resumed service to only 4 of the 35 routes.
The South hill was closed at one point. The only 2 roads accessible were so bad that city officials and police officers were urging residents to stay at home and stay off the streets.
Emergency vehicles were gettin stuck.
All Spokane public schools were closed.
Public officials and City offices were closed.
Courts were closed.
Doctor's offices closed and hospitals canceled all elective surgeries.
The Spokane Valley Mall closed around 1pm, a week before Christmas!
The Spokane airport reported 17" at 8 am. That broke the record for snow accumulation in a 24- hour period that was previously set at 13 inches.
The storm also broke the snow accumulation record for the day, December 17th . The previous record was 5" and at midnight on December 17, 2008 the airport reported 14" of snow.
Spokane received half a season's accumulation in 24 hours.
Before the storm, we were 10" behind the yearly average. At 8 am, on December 18th, we were now 5" ABOVE the yearly average.

THIS is what I should come back to???
While I love Spokane and miss it very much, I do not miss snow blowing or shoveling, and like to be in a warmer climate..we can be at 39 one day and a few days later up to 70. No, we don't see much of snow...some light flakes once in a while, but that's all I need to see of it.
You are all looking so good, and I want you to know how much I love and miss you. We now have a digital camera, and only need to find a way of posting pictures on here which we will eventually send along to you.
Just a few side notes:
November 12th marked the 4th anniversary of Rebecca and I getting to know each other, and our third wedding anniversary comes up next May 24th, and our first temple sealing will be June 14th. Her 50th birthday took place on December 21st of this year.
Have a great New Year and one filled with all the happiness you could ever have and enjoy!
Love to all of you.
Bob
