Spring, just noticed you are in WA. Which part? I just moved from Spokane after being there for 2 years. I remember talking my hubby into taking public transportation for the first time in his life in Spokane because bus stop was just across from apt complex we lived in. He started standing at bus stop that winter when Spokane got 96 inches of snow that winter. I remember seing a temp of minus 4 one nite and couldn't believe the number as being real. Right there and then I was thinking of packing and suffice to say we (and all my semps that almost froze to death and wanted to come into the house) couldn't make it back to CA fast enough. Is it really cold there now?
