Welcome to the beautiful pacific northwest, I swear the weather isn't as bad as advertised. This can be a nasty time of year though. Just curious if that is Snoqualmie falls in the picture.

I know that feeling. After being in Texas for 10 years, I truely miss tree's of all things. I don't mean single trees, I mean true forests where all you can see is green for miles.
