This boat has been moored at Columbia River Park for at least the last two weeks. It has Maryland tags and appears to be abandoned.

The predicted snowstorm never arrived, but we did get about two inches of snow.

A dense fog came rolling in on Friday morning.

The evening before, these clouds appeared.

Railroad cars were being pulled by this contraption. (Last week, rail workers used a truck on the tracks to transport the cars).

Another vehicle on the end served as a caboose. 

Pedestrians had to wait a few minutes to cross.

What's left of a tree washed up on shore recently. 

The Old Columbia Public Grounds Co. "River Park"

Ex-ambulance, still running 

It hasn't flatlined yet.

The above two photos show the aftermath of a trash pickup. The area was clean, but after pickup, items were left on the curb and in the gutter, due to the hauler turning the receptacle upside down. Should the borough be concerned?
