Hi Will,
I'm a visitor to your blog and not a resident of Palouse, but I had to compliment your beautiful pictures; you've done your town justice. Looks like a great place to live.
I've been looking for historical data on weather and thought a resident would be better to ask. How cold, how hot, snow, rain?
thnx..mp
Palouse climate is rather mild. Perhaps a few days in the Summer near 100F and a few days in the Winter near Zero F, but mostly very cool in Summer and mild Winters. The Palouse country is around 2,000 ft. elevation with none of the high humidity you find in the East, South and Midwest.
About 15 inches of rain per year. With Four very distinct seasons.
This area is on the Western edge of the Rocky Mountains. Thus, no fog and rain like you see on the coast, and no big cold fronts that sweep down from Canada in the central part of the country.
I love "the" Palouse and have visited your great little town many times. (We especially like the second hand shop!) My wife and I are originally from New England where quaint, villages are the norm. Palouse and maybe Tekoa are as close to that kind of small town atmosphere that I have found in this entire region. Distint "alive" downtowns and nice park facilities.
My goal is to retire to such a place as Palouse when all is said and done. We currently live in Hayden, Idaho which is just north of Coeur d'Alene. Certainly a beautiful place, but now over grown and full of congestion.
I am a quasi-professional photographer and many of my photos are of the Palouse. I plan on getting down your way very shortly for some early Spring shots.
Here is a link to some of my photos:

Good luck with your blog and for goodness sake, continue to relish your great little town and protect it from change!
Cheers,
Doug
