Happy leap year. I'm so stoked we have an extra day this year. It was as warm as 55 degrees yesterday with a lot of sun. Very nice. The pile is slipping away into the storm drain. It's a thing of beauty.

On another note (which will mean nothing to most of you) I set my PR on Wawawaii yesterday.

It' going to be over 50 today and even warmer tomorrow. This will lead to the quick demise of the snow pile. Thank God. There is still a fair amount of snow out there. This morning while walking "dog" I fell on my ass on a snowy/icy part of a trail. Not really "dog's" fault. I put the blame on snow.

The snow pile is disappearing right before my own eyes. It's quite amazing to see how much leaves everyday. The pictures for the next few days are going to be a little different since I am using Allison's camera since she took mine with her to Paris.

The South Fork of the Palouse is HUGE right now! Thank God we did not have any rain a few weeks ago (Pineapple express type rain) otherwise Pullman would have flooded for sure.

I was up in Spokane this morning and there was the dreaded "ice fog" hanging around up there. This has nothing to do with the Snow Pile...I just wanted to bring up the ice fog. It's strange stuff. I really never had to deal with it when I lived in Illinois.

We finally have a little bit of rain. The rain is really hammering away on the snow pile. It's gone down a couple of inches in the last day. The rain is good for leaing the streets off as well. It's been getting very dusty around here as of late since it has been so dry.

In other news...our yard is basically a giant field of mud. What sucks about it is the hound gets very muddy every time he goes out. He, of course, wants to show me how muddy he is and makes sure to place his paw on my shirt or jeans. Stupid dog...

Late post today. I had other things to do today...like walk the dog since Allison's back is so bad and go out and enjoy the beautiful day by riding 80 miles.

Grass is now visible at the base of the snow pile. Sweet!
