Winter is on its way. Mount Spokane, just a few miles north of downtown Spokane, has had its first snow of the season. About 10 inches, but much of it melted at the lower elevations of the ski area. The depth in the woods at the base of the ski area was still at 8 inches or so the weekend of November 8, 2008.
This morning, November 14, 2008, it was cold in Spokane, below freezing. That means colder weather at higher elevations. The sky was clear this morning but now it is greying. Weather is moving in.
