“Well Andy, surprise, surprise, surprise!” That phrase always sticks in my mind and makes me chuckle just a bit when things go astray. We’ve come a long ways since the days of Mayberry, Andy Griffith and Gomer Pyle.Tuesdays 'surprise' snowstorm was most amazing as those relentless east winds held their own. Just goes to show you weather forecasting is not an exact science. It wasn't until about 11 am Tuesday that I realized it looked like a band of snow was heading northward towards Clark County. I notified a few friends of its arrival between 1-3 pm but did not think we would get four inches in the Salmon Creek area. Bad timing for rush hour commute! Other areas got 2-3 inches. All I could do is chuckle and watch the snowflakes tumble downward earthbound. I remember pondering what to say for Tuesday's column as I sat in front of the computer Monday afternoon. Sometimes one should say what they think and maybe be wrong or don't say anything and be wrong as well. Not a  win-win for weather forecasters. Anyways, right or wrong life goes on. The ghastly rock walls of the Columbia River Gorge and the ancient echoes of ill-winds keep their relentless energy and beckon the mysteries of time past as they deliver the unknown quanities of weather to the western lowlands. ~ Pat
