Family sharing all the way across the country

So I walk past my computer and glance at the sidebar where I have current weather conditions for home and where each of the girls are at school. I was expecting the snow icon for here, and for Duluth, but Portland? So I looked it up and this is what I found:

Wunderground Portland
Forecast for Greater Portland Metro Area
Updated: 10:57 am PST on December 1, 2007
Snow Advisory in effect until 6 PM PST this afternoon...

Today
Snow...possibly changing to rain south part of the Portland Metro area in the afternoon. New snow accumulation around an inch with 1 to 3 inches possible above 500 to 1000 feet. Highs 35 to 40. Southeast wind 10 to 15 mph.
Tonight
Rain...except areas of snow north and east of downtown Portland in the evening. Breezy. Local snow accumulations 1 or 2 inches. Lows around 35. Southeast wind 15 to 25 mph.

Here at home:

This Afternoon
Snow early in the afternoon...changing over to sleet. May mix with freezing rain late. Brisk. Snow may be heavy at times early in the afternoon. New snow accumulation of 2 to 4 inches. New ice accumulation of up to one quarter of an inch. Highs in the mid 20s. Southeast winds 20 to 25 mph with gusts to around 40 mph.

DTE's school city:
Wunderground Duluth
Duluth's weather:

So for the most part we all get to share the same weather. Lucky DTE gets to miss the freezing rain on top of snow. Oh, and we might just need to do something about the weather stripping on the garage door.

Forecast for us is 76 and "abundant sunshine." We got just over an inch of rain in a 36-hour period. Amazingly, no flooding in the burn areas.

I love your garage door! Any mices come in with the snow?

The heck with the snow coming in...I worry about mice! We've got the same deal going with our garage door. BLECH.

Can we really pack it up and mail it somewhere else? I'm SO in!
