During the winter of 1997-1998, I believe it was in December, Rainier received a decent amount of snow. I went out in it to take some pictures, starting with home, of course.
This is the schoolyard of Rainier Elementary School, with Fox Creek now flowing freely after the removal of the culvert following the flood of 1996.
While I was walking around across Highway 30 from City Hall, a snow plow truck from the Oregon Department of Transportation happened to pass by, and I took pictures of it as it passed.
These snow plow pictures aren't all that exciting, but I think the walk to the school had dampened my enthusiasm. I think I had originally planned to walk to Riverfront Park, but decided it was too cold.
I was probably already walking back home when I took these pictures.
Finally, here is a picture from the corner of West B Street and West Third Street, looking down at the snow-covered marina docks. One of Rainier's black Chevrolet Caprice police cars with the blue and yellow striping is slowly descending the steep street.
