‘Earth’ good for fun, not suspense
Fri., Dec. 12, 2008
By Bill Goodykoontz
Gannett News Service
The remake of “The Day the Earth Stood Still” is dumb fun with a message.
Nothing wrong with that, but it’s worth noting that the dumb fun part is more effective by far.
Director Scott Derrickson and screenwriter David Scarpa obviously had to jettison the nuclear threat from the 1951 original, replacing it with a warning about … well, don’t want to give too much away. Suffice it to say that it’s timely, if obvious.
The basic premise is the same: A visitor from another planet shows up; the military doesn’t exactly roll out the welcome wagon. Nothing says hello like a gunshot.
What is the reason for the visit? Can we see beyond our myopic world – um, universe – view to even receive the message, much less heed it?
Derrickson wisely keeps some of the more memorable aspects of the original intact.

In brief: Snow, rain, wind coming our way
Fri., Dec. 12, 2008
A winter storm approaching the Inland Northwest is shaping up to be a meteorological “bomb,” a forecaster at the National Weather Service said Thursday.
A deepening low-pressure system migrating from Alaska was expected to park itself off the coast today, triggering a succession of snow, rain, wind, drizzle, freezing drizzle, more snow and arctic winds – roughly in that order – through Sunday.
“It’s a bomb,” forecaster John Livingston said. “It’s a rapidly deepening system, very vigorous.”
Arctic air and northeast wind are expected to make Sunday, Monday and Tuesday brutally cold, with highs struggling to reach 10 degrees.
Wind chills could reach minus 27 degrees in Spokane and elsewhere Monday morning, and low temperatures could bottom out Tuesday morning at minus 15 if skies are clear overnight.
The Weather Service issued a winter storm warning for much of the Inland Northwest, predicting nearly 11 inches of snow in Spokane and 9 inches in Coeur d’Alene. The heaviest snow should come overnight tonight into Saturday morning.
Cold is expected to persist throughout next week.

Snow tapers off but streets remain slick

Snowfall in Spokane County this morning and Friday was far less than expected, the National Weather Service said. But totals in some locations in North Idaho came close to the 11-inches or more that were predicted, said Bob Tobin, National Weather Service forecaster, this morning.
The total in southeast Spokane was measured at three inches.
But officials caution that even without the large accumulation, roads remain slick.

Last week of autumn looks a lot like winter
Mon., Dec. 15, 2008, 11:59 a.m.
The last official week of autumn will be much like the dead of winter, with arctic cold and snow in the forecast through Sunday.
A wind chill advisory in effect Monday was dropped but replaced by a winter storm watch for Wednesday afternoon through Thursday with 4 to 7 inches of snow expected in valley locations and more in the mountains.
More cold and snow are likely after that.
Winter officially arrives at 4:04 a.m. Sunday.
The expected low temperature Monday was 7 below zero in Spokane and could be even colder in areas of North Idaho and northeast Washington.
The high temperature today was forecast in the mid-single digits.
The Wednesday snow was expected to arrive in the region after forming as a low-pressure system over the Arctic Ocean that likely will be drawn southward. A reinforcing blast of arctic air could follow the snow Friday.
Forecasters said they were unsure about the weekend’s weather, although they expect the arctic conditions to ease slightly Sunday.

Winter storm watch for Wednesday
Mon., Dec. 15, 2008, 5:38 p.m.
The Spokesman-Review
A wind chill advisory that was in effect for most of Eastern Washington and North Idaho this morning was dropped this afternoon, but a winter storm watch was issued for 4 to 7 inches of snow in Valley locations starting Wednesday afternoon.
Even more cold and snow, and another round of arctic winds were expected later this week.
The highest wind speeds this morning were 22 mph at Stateline and 26 mph at Sandpoint. The overnight low dropped to 3 degrees at Spokane International Airport, but the thermometer bounced back to 13 at mid-day under sunny skies.
Even colder temperatures are expected tonight with lows hitting 7 degrees below zero in Spokane. Clear skies were expected to allow for a colder night.
Snow is expected Wednesday evening with moderate accumulations, and again on Sunday when there is a chance of significant snow, forecasters said.

Winter storm to bring snow Wednesday
Tue., Dec. 16, 2008, 7:34 a.m.
By Mike Prager
A winter storm watch was upgraded to a winter storm warning this afternoon for far Eastern Washington and North Idaho as well as locations closer to the Cascades as an arctic weather system approached the region with a potential for heavy snow.
A winter weather advisory for lesser amounts of snow was in effect for other parts of the region, including the Columbia Basin.
The warning comes after the low temperature dropped to minus-5 degrees in Spokane early today, but by afternoon the temperature across the Spokane and Coeur d’Alene area rebounded to anywhere from about 7 to 13 degrees.
At Spokane International Airport at 2:50 p.m., the temperature was 7; at Felts Field, 10; Otis Orchards, 13; and the Veterans Memorial Bridge on Interstate 90 east of Coeur d’Alene, 12.
The National Weather Service issued the warning for Spokane, Stevens, Pend Oreille, Whitman and the northeast corner of Lincoln County in Eastern Washington along with nearly all of North Idaho. In addition, the southeast corner of Washington from the Walla Walla Valley eastward was part of the warning area.
The warning extended as far east as Glacier National Park in Montana.
The storm watch for Wednesday and Thursday called for 4 to 7 inches of snow in valley areas

Region paralyzed by snow
Thu., Dec. 18, 2008, 5:25 p.m.
By Mike Prager
Snowplow crews worked furiously Thursday against a wintry onslaught that dropped record amounts of snow over the Inland Northwest, repeating a pattern left from the brutal 2007-’08 winter.
At nearly 2 feet, the snow was so deep that it forced Spokane crews to focus on major arterial routes in an effort to keep the city from being completely choked.
Stores and government offices closed. Workers stayed home on the advice of authorities on both sides of the state line.
Forecasters warned that there may not be much time to dig out, and the work will have to be done in single-digit temperatures today and Saturday.
Another snowstorm could bring 5 inches or more Sunday with yet another storm in the offing for Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.
Spokane ended up with 23.3 inches over 34 hours ending at 4 p.m. Thursday. Coeur d’Alene had 25 inches by Thursday morning. Other locations had more.
It was the most snow received in both Spokane and Coeur d’Alene in a 24-hour period since record-keeping began.
