We live next to a very large, deep lake. Because of that I'd say the first half of the winter is quite mild 20's-30's Fahrenheit. The lake does a decent job at regulating the temps. Once the lake cools down, we may get 1-2 weeks where the temps will get to -10 to -20 Fahrenheit, which isn't too bad.
Where I work (North Dakota) it routinely gets to -20 and colder, not counting windchill, which can easily drop the temps another 10 to 20 degrees....

As for tonight's storm (it started snowing about an hour ago), they are calling for up to 5 inches on the valley floor and several feet in the mountains. Our elevation here is about 2900 feet and the mountain behind us is about 6800 feet.

It's 10:40pm and I just got home. Damn glad I don't to knee anyone in the groinals, because well, uhm, I can't exactly feel my knees right now


I'll say it once again, this time to you, Matt. The best part about living in Western Washington is you don't have to shovel rain. Given your bum wheel and all.

Hope you heal up quick

Thanks woof, I appreciate that. I don't shovel snow anymore lol... I have a snow plow on one of our ATV's for that

Retiring to the WA coast is still in the plans.... Just may take a little longer lol

Well to answer your question, first I should tell you the water was very cold that day

In reality, they're delicious. Quite prized in Japan. In fact, and I can't remember the Japanese word, but at your local sushi bar if you order "Giant Clam" it's probably geoduck.

About a minute in boiling water to loosen the skin on the, uhm, er, neck thing there.

Peel the skin off and slice a chunk for some great sashimi.

Also makes a great chowder
