It snowed all day yesterday we day and is still snowing at almost 2:30 am. Not deep snow but enough to cover everything.

Yeah..it showed in Spokane last night. It is March.

it's genuinely concerning how many of you refuse to allow grey areas to exist. a person is not wholly, ontologically evil because they have bad opinions, informed by their own experiences. a person is also not wholly good because they have opinions you regularly agree with. he's just some guy.

After years of growth, Georgia’s film industry hits a painful reset Georgia’s film industry is struggling. The state’s generous tax credits once turned Atlanta into the Hollywood of the South, drawing hundreds of productions and transforming the local economy.

The tree on neighbor's house before removal started and after guy chainsawed top out of street last night.

Income tax bill heads to WA governor for signature | Cascadia Daily News GOP lost last procedural fight before Ferguson signs

Democratic state senators pushed a state income tax across the legislative finish line Wednesday, after Republicans’ last-ditch attempt to derail it failed.

Neighbor's garage took a direct hit last night from fallen pine tree. Damaged garage roof and took out her patio awning. Top of tree snapped off and blocked road. Random person chainsawed it out of the road at 3 am.

This was the tree I heard fall last night.

“Accessing invalid data will only draw inaccurate conclusions and risk further degradation of public confidence,” said Ryan Macias, a national elections technology consultant who observed the audit on behalf of the Arizona secretary of state’s office.

Windstorm seems to be quieting down. Occasional gusts a lot less intense and a constant light breeze.

It was a tree in the neighborhood that fell. Across the street one door up from us. A random guy encountered it driving and chainsawed it out of the street.

As I was checking our yards...found our garbage can blown over (empty thank goodneds) and welcome mat blown into flowerbed.

I think a tree must have gone over in the wind up the street...there was a falling bang, crash, sound and then a hitting ground noise.

She took her hearing aid out and is sleeping on her better ear so she "can sleep with the wind."

I do have to say...I heard a huge bang and crash so think a tree went over just a few houses down. Cannot tell from my windows where so further up street.
