[Vision2020] [SPAM] Another Sunny Day in Moscow

[Tom Hansen]

Oh, yes.  I remember January and February of 1996 very, VERY well.  Sub-zero
temperatures and heavy snow followed by a sudden thaw and heavy rains . . .
the great flood of 1996.  I and my wife were living in the Park Village
Apartments.  I was in the last semester of my senior year.  We ended up
spending a couple nights in the Wallace complex, ten days at the Mark IV
Hotel, and ultimately to the apartment we are currently residing in.

 



 



 



 



 

I have loads of more photos of the great flood of '96 if anybody is
interested.

 

Seeya round town, Moscow.

 "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving
safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in
sideways, chocolate in one hand, a drink in the other, body thoroughly used
up, totally worn out and screaming 'WOO HOO. What a ride!'"

During a six-year stint of living in Richmond, VA, my wife and I always
chuckled when forecasters would use what became a stock cliche of "bitter
cold" when the low was 20 or so. It would literally spawn a run on milk and
bread at the grocery stores. 

 

On the other side, does anyone recall 12 years ago today and tomorrow here
in Moscow? We were living at the base of Moscow Mountain with a one-day-old
baby. The temps were, at our house, recorded by an accurate Taylor max/min
thermometer, in the -30's F with two feet of fallen snow. The drifts were so
intense that I did not need a ladder to walk up to the roof to remove ice
dams (yes it was that kind of house) with an axe and shovel. The later
floods (Feb, I think) took out our driveway to the tune of an 18-inch
channel twelve inches wide-- thank goodness for road graders with whom you
have developed a friendship!
