A few hard frosts lately, but spring is taking hold for sure.

Emilyp Here in the PNW it was up to almost 50 and is now back down to 40 and raining. If we were up in the CascadesMountains it might get a bit of snow tonight but not down here at the north end of the WIllamete Valley. It is sittingat 40 and raining now. No excitement from the weather ..

Emilyp did you take him up on his offer?! It’s certainly strange to have rain in December! We keep saying what a huge snowstorm this would have been. I’m going to tuck in a few bulbs that didn’t make it into the ground this fall.

KitCMC Nah, too wet out there. Maybe tomorrow 😄

Here in Oregon City the 10 day forecast has us plus or minus a couple of degrees from 50F. Accuweather endeavors to predict further into the future and the streak may break on January 23rd when it will get colder. In some winters the Canadian arctic weather sags down to include us. Not this year so far. Below zero has occurred only once in Portland at that was in 1888 at -2. A modern day record was 6F in 1967 and Margaret tells stories of feet of snow and ice on top of the snow that her younger brothers could walk on. I missed that weather as I was in Walla Walla to visit my old neighborhood during the holiday break from college. It was 3 below 0 there and a foot or so of snow. I stayed at our next door neighbors house(my parents left Walla Walla in 1965) and slept on the floor in a sleeping bag.

Ted, I remember that winter! I couldn't stand the idea of staying on the farm for 2 weeks break from my college life so I took the train back from Chehalis to Pullman and stayed at our residence the rest of the holiday., I remember coming home to everything covered in snow with a strong icy crust on it! So wieird to think we shared the same space and didn't meet each other for so long afterward. But we remember the same snow storm and deep cold!

Lots of snow here. That pile is 12 x 20 x 12 ish. In the summer that’s where a lot of my dahlias go.

Beautiful Erika! Now that is more like it! The kids said it feels like Christmas here, as long as you don't look out the window 🙂

Oregon City: We may set a record high today as 57F is forecast. At 6:30Am when I took the dogs out , it was 50F.
Record low for yesterday was 14F and I am happy with the warm weather. .

You have us beat. Only 47 at our house but the local weather station says 51. It is probably warmer down by the Columbia River. I wonder how warm it will get today....Clouds are moving rapidly past us.

Birds are singing, dogs are rolling on the wet ground (after getting baths two days ago)
