liralenIt is mildly disconcerting to get up and have it be 54° first thing in the morning. This is warmer than it has been for a while, though the downslope winds account for it, it's still disorienting after the cold of the last few weeks.

Date: 2006-02-27 10:47 pm (UTC)In 1963, the Columbus Day Storm tore up Washington and Oregon. What's not as well remembered is that it moved over Idaho, Washington, Wyoming, and into Alberta, dropping all its moisture. We had snow drifts deeper than our schoolbusses before it hit, and when it hit, everything... EVERYTHING... was covered in two feet of crusty snow. It was beautiful and it lasted two days while something built up in the mountains.
And then, with a warm gust of wind from the west, the temperature went from minus 10 degrees Fahrenheit to 65 Fahrenheit over six hours.
Half the city of Great Falls flooded. And several trees in an abandoned farmstead near where I lived exploded.
