It’s looking more and more like winter every day. A wet warm front followed by an Arctic cold air mass has made for some snowy and cold weather. In the past twenty four hours we got about a foot of snow. When the snow stopped, the temperature really started dropping as an the cold Arctic … Read more
We had a pretty good snowstorm yesterday, at least two or three inches of heavy, wet snow. Today the sun is out and the snow is starting to melt. Weather forecast is calling for 50 and sunny by the weekend.
Last week was sunny and in the mid sixties, today it’s snowing. Pretty good dump. I drove down the hill into town about 11AM, an hour and a half later there was a couple inches of snow on the road. No snow tires on the truck yet, so plenty of sliding going on. By nightfall, … Read more

Tomorrow morning we are off to Mountain Bike Oregon. Always a great time in a beautiful area. Weather looks good, not too hot and a little rain to keep the dust down. Speaking of beautiful areas, how about the view from the back door? There is a saying that goes “If you don’t like where … Read more
