Picture of my city after dark from a couple days ago

I wish I could take credit but it was taken by the web developer for one of the local news stations.

1. My dear pokerfan!

Ah, that's beautiful!

Spokane, huh?

I lived in Richland for about 4 years back in the fifties...

We took a driving trip up to Grand Coulee dam once...

Stark, beautiful country!

:hi:

Took a drive there not too long ago.

2. K&R.

Good enough for Van Gogh to paint.

3. Lovely...really lovely

You haven't gotten any of the weather that hit the shore side?

5. We've got over 40" of snow this month

but it tends to clear up briefly after each dumping.

6. Wow! That is amazing..Is that very unusual for your area?

[pokerfan]

8. If we get ten more inches this month it will break the local record

and we're expecting 6-8 inches tomorrow! Last Wednesday we broke the local 24 hour record when 25 inches landed upon us.

We normally get a fair amount of snow. We're east of the Cascade Mountains so it's usually colder here in the winter (than Seattle) which means snow instead of rain.

At least it's great for the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_wheat">winter wheat.

9. Haven't the coastal cities...Seattle and even Portland OR, been hit by a lot of snow recently?

[pokerfan]

11. Yep, and that is unusual

They tend to get more rain and steady overcast.

10. Thanks!

I love city night exposures because the lights are different everywhere and far different than uniform daylight. That's a really good example!

Have a great night.

12. Here's the building that my department at WVU is HQ'ed in... Her halls are all decked!
