Any Freezing Rain showing up ?

[fishbait]

May need to travel east tonight around 6 PM and am concerned about the weather. Moisture is supposed to come from the south, so.....

Any Salem, Eugene reports. Heck. any reports at all?

Thanks

[Pete]

The local TV stations are trying to keep us tuned in by saying it's going to be here soon. I can't tell if it's marketing or weather forecasting.

[fishsticks]

Here's a Salem report. Temp is 40, and rain/hailing. The roads aren't slick yet, but my guess is it could get ugly once the sun goes down.

[sliverpicker]

I live 6 miles east of Sandy. It's 31 degrees with light snow and strong east winds. It looks like there's some ice pellet's mixed in now and then.

The temp dropped 4/10th's while I was typing the first paragraph!

Just started here in SE PDX.

[k9jeff]

Keizer, LIGHT snow mix with rain and some is freezing to the surface. Roads look OK. 36 degrees here. It might be a tad funky tonight, but I dont think anyone will be house bound as a result.

[judyfish99]

Nothing here yet in the "banana belt"...Milwaukie/Oak Grove/Gladstone!! Ooops, it just started.

[Chromaflage]

Boring, OR weather Report:

Currently 30 degrees, light precipitation mix of sleet and snow at 1334 hours.

Tigard report 1:42 pm: light snow with hail mixed in. Accumulated immediately on the pavement and vehicle.

[ryleysmom]

Albany, 1:45pm light rain mix ice pellets, sometimes looks as if some snow is in it also.. maybe Im just seeing white stuff.... lol
Talked to my step mother in bend and it was snowing there and did not look as if it was letting up as she said. Drive safe.....

[Dullhook]

It started out here about 1100 hrs, as "popcorn" and the roads were a little slick. It's about 31 degrees right now and it's coming down as light rain.

Roads look okay now. :smile:

[MikeT]

Rock Creek area:
34 degrees with very light snowfall. Windy!!

SE Portland, 1/4 inch of mixed sleet and freezing rain. Gizmo Man just left, heading north on I-5 ... let's give a little prayer for his safety!

[fishbait]

Gotta love IFish, better current weather reports can not be had. We should be listed on the NWS web site for current conditions.

My report:

14:02 35 Deg F

Just started light snow mixed with light hail.

We will know in a few hours if this is a non event or skating rink.

A good link:

Remember the birds in this weather, hard for them to get water and food.

[Mr. BrownTrout]

22 degree's here in Boise, Idaho

[reeldick]

Light snow here, no real freezing rain yet.

[garyk]

Just heard from NE Columbia Blvd, 2pm, came on quick and things are getting slick.

[EZLoader]

Brush Prairie/Battleground 2:20 pm

just started...rain mixed with ice pellets..mid 30s but temp dropping with sunset.

[StickFish]

Like amp said snowing and blowing in Tigard. Every Tom, Dick and Harry (well and me too) are at the store stocking up

[Bait O' Eggs]

Milwaukie at 2:25pm

about 1/2 inch and the roads are getting slick

[Small Fry]

Hillsboro started snowing here about 2:00. No freezing rain just snow. 30 dgr and dropping it was 32 at 1:00. Time to go chain up the company truck.

[WaterDog]

31.3 deg here in Mac and snowing with about 1/2 accum.

[EULACHON]

540 feet in the couv and snowing like crazy 2:40 pm

[Jet Drifter]

Here comes the southern thaw.
Eugene, 34 degrees
1440 hrs.

[Lured In]

28 degrees, snowing sideways and the wind is just hammering.

Still praying the trees keep standing. One of my neighbors lost one this morning around 900am. Fortunately for all parties involved it fell down the rear property line and didn't hit any houses.

Not much in the way of freezing rain, yet.

Stay warm and be safe.

[Rakkasan]

Man and I am still at work. Snowing hard in North Portland and all of the local drug dealers on Killingsworth have thinned but you still have your die hards

Stay safe.

[Fast Water]

Small blizzard in Woodland.

[crazy_frog]

This is a shot of I-5 at the Ross Island Bridge today at 3:00pm. It is starting to get slick.

[Rank Amateur]

700 feet and snowing here in town! Elevation that is.

[HeavyMetal BankFisherman]

Boy that hit fast. It went from sunny skies to this. I was out on the eastside of Portland when the first few pieces of ice started to hit my windshield. By the time I had made a mad dash back downtown there was about a half inch sticking. I can see the eastbound highway 26 traffic coming out of the tunnel and they are moving at about 20mph.

Tommorrow morning will most likely be a challenging commute.

[k9jeff]

basic run of the mill rain here in Keizer/salemland. Not froze, just rain. Anything that was here has melted.

310pm

This is wrong,, I need to get back out in the garage and get some stuff done.

[24 on/ 48 off]

Snowing perty good in Scappoose right now:

[trap50]

South Salem up the hill on 12th. 33 and have had a little of everything bad.

[crazy_frog]

more snow accumulating and cars are now stuck on the hill beside my house.

[Fshklr]

Longview,
3:34 and the wind is just picking up to about 30...small white thingy's coming in sideways....

[EZLoader]

The news just said this could be a mess until Thursday.

If freezing rain tonight or tomorrow PGE is predicting major power line outages so get your batteries and candles ready now.

Also check on those elderly neighbors as well.

[WaterDog]

I thought this weather only happend during the boat show?

[Bird Dog]

sitting here in the dark, power has been out for an hour here in east vancouver. about 30mph winds, blowing snow and ice pellets.

My kids have been playing with the flashlights since halloween, so we only have 2 that still work. I'll be breaking out my tent heater pretty soon!

[wootersen]

Traffic here in Sleazy SE sure bites. I must've seen 3 fender benders in about 6 blocks. I should've stayed home.

I don't know what's worse...the 2 wheel drive hyundai accents playing pinball all over the place, or the overconfindent guys with 4 wheel drive tailgating everyone.

Stay home if you can. Just because you have 4 wheel drive doesn't mean everyone else does.

[Lured In]

Down to 24* and the snow is still coming down (and up), blowing like crazy.

Fortunately we still have power for the time being.

[PapaHog]

Wonderful just wonderful.

It's up to 45 and raining in KF, it's been below 25 for 3 weeks. We have several inches of packed snow and ice on the roads so driving is not a good idea.

Must be Global Warming.

[fishbait]

Not all that bad right now, snow has stopped in Hillsboro.
Light/med wind, 31 Def F, no precipitation, light coating of snow/sleet on the ground. Thing we got less precipitation than other areas in the metro area.

It looks like the next band of moisture due early morning will be the bad part. Serious freezing rain, so please make good decisions regarding your travel.

Like EZLoader said, check on elderly neighbors and parents if you are lucky enough to still have them in your life.

I have my extra 12 volt deep cycle battery charged, the inverter ready, bought some extra pellets for the stove, checked the batteries in the raido/CD and the flashlights and have some food in the fridge. Janey & I are not going anywhere as the party of fishing friends was canceled.

Gee, we have no kids tonight, plans have changed, no where to go, and the upstairs is all cozy and warm, what are we going to do tonght.......

34.2 and freezing rain, here. Very icy out. Leaves are all coated and when you take them off, you can see all the veins in the leaves.

I love that! I take them in and put them in the freezer and serve them in punch bowls later in the year! :smile:

I hope folks don't mind a little systemic fertilizer in their drinks.

Yeah, Like that crazy woman in the BMW flashing her lights behind me going over 30 mph on River Road behind the Ford Dealership in Gladstone!! I am parked now!!

Pull over and let the loons play bumper pool with the other loons.

[judyfish99]

Keta, that is what I did....she barely missed me

[BCF]

Stay home if you can. Just because you have 4 wheel drive doesn't mean everyone else does.

The 4-wheel drive sure helps to make you go ...........but it doesn't do much to make you stop.

[eat, sleep, fish]

Man we must have got real lucky down here. It got up to over 50 here in Medford and was mostly sunny. The only bad part was that the wind was howling, but atleast it was a warm wind.

but it doesn't do much to make you stop.

Yup!

[CAPT KUJO]

Made it to Cloverdale and Pacific City

[newbeebob]

Started snowing in Banks around 1:00. Started coming down pretty hard for a couple of hours. No freezing rain just dry snow.

Had enough to cover the ground by 3:00



And by 6:00 it had stopped but had enough to break the sleds out. Unfortunatly we don't have any hills. Probably between 1.5" & 2" by the time it stopped.



Tomorrow morning should be interesting. Looks like I'll be sticking to the backrouds for the commute into Hillsboro.

Enjoy, and be safe
