I live near the Snohomish river and enjoyed watching it rise above flood stage via this web page...but I have no idea where I found it and have since lost the link.<br /><br />Thanks for any help..and good luck to all in the next coming day, wind looks like it'll be fun!Scott K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09543174609187989825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-58375485346408681852010-01-15T11:36:39.346-08:002010-01-15T11:36:39.346-08:00I think one key point is that it looks like mostly...I think one key point is that it looks like mostly coastal excitement early next week.
