Spokane

This is my son Chris's driveway in Spokane. Actually, it is about half of his driveway. There is just as much around the bend behind me. He had already been down it with his snow shovel this morning before I got out there with my camera.
He had also cleared most of the berm kicked up by the snowplows which had been by earlier. It was interesting to watch the snowplows there, as they travel in groups of three. Each one following closer to the edge of the road than the one before it. Spokane has already received more than a winter's normal snowfall--most of it in the last two weeks.

That bit at the bottom--he's giving it a bit of extra attention. That's where we got stuck when we arrived yesterday afternoon. It took us 45 minutes to dig ourselves out. It was pretty stressful, as we were really stuck and the rear end of the car was sticking out into the traffic lane. Quite a bit of snow had fallen after he had gone to work.
The kids helped, too, breaking up the ice to get down to bare pavement.

And watched.

This icicle was on the house next door.

No Skywatch here today. It'll be over at Yakima Valley Daily Photo in the morning.
