Yes, we've started to see snow fall in our mountain passes. We even plowed US 2 Stevens Pass Wednesday night. Here's a few shots from Snoqualmie, Stevens and White passes today (Thursday). It's a great time to be sure you and your vehicle are ready for winter weather and to start checking our mountain pass page before heading out! http://www.wsdot.com/winter/

Forecast is for 32 degrees overnight Friday in Toledo. If you haven’t already, winterize now. Don’t forget Fido & Fluffy - they need fresh water and shelter. We have one of those small Igloo doghouses for Princess (the mouser), placed out of the wind & rain, insulated with one of those fleece-lined Cat Cozy things - and, I admit it - a heating pad.

Tina Lyon posted on TES PTO: Thank you all so much for all the box tops and dimes. We are collecting lots with no names so no credit can be given towards the class. Please write the student’s name and teacher on every submission so your child can get credit. If you are out of sheets, dimes and box tops can be turned in in baggies. Just write the name and teacher on the front with a sharpie. Thank you again for all of your participation!
