After nearly a foot of snow blanketed the Spokane and Coeur d’Alene areas, the National Weather Service has 
another treat in store. A blizzard warning is in effect until noon today for most of the Spokane and Coeur d’Alene areas as well as Bonners Ferry, Sandpoint, Davenport and Cheney. A temperature of 10 degrees was reported at 7 a.m. with a northeast wind of 16 mph. Wind today could gust to 32 mph. The National Weather Service said that 11 inches of snow was recorded at Spokane International Airport since Wednesday/Mike Prager, SR. More here. (AP illustration)
Question: Did you get caught in traffic or experience any close calls during the snow dump yesterday and this morning? Are you waiting out the storm and cold by huddling indoors?

I think I’ll delay my sunglasses buying trip to Spokane for another day.

I ducked out and did the laundry between snow storms. I can huddle inside for the next 24 hours - dialysis in the morning requires that we dig out some time tonight, though.
