Winter Storm Warning, Let us know! SNOW?

[glassblower]

I was just checking out "weather bug", and it say's 10-15 inches for the coastal and cascade foothills. Sounds like the snow bomb is about to fall on us. I love the snow , but I hope everyone stays safe in it. Carfull driving the roads everyone. :grin:


EDIT: Sorry, I edited your title, so that we will have just one snow thread on ifish for the day.

Thanks!

i'm in forest grove no snow yet any at the coast

[Pete]

The 3 to 5 inches predicted for yesterday didn't show up. The 3 to 5 predicted for today hasn't shown up. The 18 degree temperature hasn't shown up. I think the forecasts for the last week have been the worst I've ever experienced.

[fishindogs]

I'm at about mile 9 on highway 6 East of Tillamook. No snow yet, nice blue sky but clouds are moving in.

[Timber]

It was spitting snow up the nest. a hour ago

[Stz ll]

Since when does it ever snow when they predict it to. It was supposed to rain last Thursday however it snowed. We were supposed to get three inches yesterday and 3 inches last night.

Since snow is predicted for tommorow it probably won't.

[glassblower]

Willamina, Sheridan area has been getting light snow today off and on. The big hit is supposed to be overnight tonight and on through tomorrow night and Tuesday. Sounds like we are finally going to have a bug killer winter. Hope it kills a bunch off anyway, I do not care much for mosquitos & flys. It is currantly 28 deggrees here, and dropping fast. The hils are no longer visable now either, I think it is fog though.

[Fast Water]

Temp in Woodland at 1:00 PM was 34 degrees.

Now at 4:45 PM it is 29.

If that moister pushes over the top from the West things could get nasty.

[Thumper]

Jennie --- QUIT PRAYING!!! :shocked:

[Jennie@ifish]

Pete, don't be that way! I prayed for snow, and look what happened! It snowed! I think the weather people should just ask me what I've been praying for, lately, then do the forecast. I'm feeling pretty sassy about that. :smile:

You will all be relieved that I am now praying for warm and sunny weather, now. Someone call Rhonda and let her know... Sunny and 89 next week!

I am sorry for the inconvenience you have all experienced, but I do love snow.

I'm just really cold, right now, so it's time for a change! :smile:

Yeah, Yeah, I heard all this before. Thats when Tuna Breath and I hit the Wilson New Years Day. No problem there and no problem home. I try not to let the weather guessers ruin my outdoor experiences.

[Steelie King]

Temp. at Pendleton at 6:45 pm.

-4 with a wind chill at -27. Yep -27.

Thats enough to freeze out the most dedicated steelhead fisherman. Even ice fishing is out of the question.

Hay any "springers" yet??? [img]graemlins/applause.gif[/img] Warmth,sun and fun.

Got to go de-ice the well!!

You guys and gals on the west side stay safe if the snow monster hits..

See you in a few.

[glassblower]

Well it is 4:30am and no snow yet. But it is only 20 deggrees outside. The storm alert is now saying "late monday, on through tuesday night" and is saying we are in for hazardous winter storm weather. Just going by what wheather bug says.

[nitrobass]

Half an inch of fresh snow in Eugene this morning, 29 degrees and chilly

[glassblower]

Sweet, it is most likely moving my way then. Thanks for the heads up Nitrobass.

[Jennie@ifish]

Let's keep an eye on the snow, and where it is starting. I edited the thread title.
Maybe I'll let the weather people at the TV stations know this is going on, so that when it starts snowing in different areas, they will know!

It will be fun to track the storm, this way!

At 5:44 AM, we as yet have no precipitation. It is 30 degrees outside, and partly cloudy.

Jen

[SpinnerMan]

Currently light snow between Alsea and Philomath at 6 a.m.

[glassblower]

I keep peeking out, nothing yet. Bummer to, I was hopeing to get my boy with a snowball before he gets me this time :-)

[sparkleboy]

Snowing pretty good in Corvallis. Haven't been outside yet, but looks like there is between 1-2 inches on the ground.
Woo! OSU cancle classes! I want to go fishing!

[Salmon Stryker]

Snowing in Salem just enough of a dusting to cover the ground but it's still coming down.

[fishuntr2]

We have a good 1 foot snow base at the house. Not snowing yet...temp is 18 deg.

[Jennie@ifish]

OK--

Snowing hard on the Kilchis right now. It's 7:04, and the kids are groaning as they climb the hill to the school bus. I bet they'll be home in a couple hours! :smile:

This is silly!

Go to school, come home... :smile:

Oh well, at least I get a 3 hour reprieve!

Jen

[glassblower]

Hmmmm, this kinda sucks. Sounds like it is snowing all the way around me, I want some more white stuff. Just looked out again and nothing.

[glassblower]

wait it really is snowing here, and the snow is so fine I walked out and started my truck and did not know it was snowing till I turned on the headlights. Thats some fine snow, hope it hits hard.

[Phishin Phool]

There's 1-2" of the white stuff here in Jefferson and still coming down. No school, no work, Hmmm what to do?

9 degrees and freezing fog up here this morning.

[Slugranch]

26 degrees and wind, but no white stuff yet,gotta go out and get the paper,,,think it's time to get a dog to go fetch the paper for me.

[dampainter]

I am out in the dalles and we have had about 2 FOOT of snow on the ground since day after new years, I am too tired to shovel more snow. please....NO MORE SNOW!!!

[greenbuttskunk]

Like my gramma always used to say. "snow is like getting nookie, ya don't know how much you'll get, or how long it will last" :grin:
Hope we get a good dose, I LOVE SNOW!!!

[jet]

Fine, almost dust snow in Aloha... really fine.

No snow on the dry side, I think it is too cold to snow -14 at 4:30 this morning but the good news is it has warmed up to -9 in the last 4 hours

[trap50]

Weather bug says 19 in S Salem. Been snowing a little since 5am. Snowing harder now.Starting to remind me of the iron range in Mn. where I grew up. Hang on though floods by the weekend. Good ol Oregon weather. :smile:

<font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica">To cold to snow? tell my parents that, their from Nebraska...

[glassblower]

Yesterday morning we took the old F-250 up to Bald mt. (up above the top the Big Nestucka) there was about 3ft up there. If it doe's warm up later this week like they say we will have some flood waters on our hands. Sure is cold out, and still alot of very fine snow falling, plus it is blowing all over the place also. Gota love it while it's here.

[Small Fry]

Tigard 9:00 Snowing lightly. Please pray this thaws slowly,

This reminds me of Feb 1996 when our house flooded. I don't want to go through that again. 38K worth of damage and 4 month to rebuild.

[Lured In]

17 degrees with blowing snow here at the mouth to the scenic Columbia River Gorge. Brrrr!

We have those little 'snow snakes' wipping across the street. We are gonna end up with drifts before it covers anything.

[willierower]

COLD and light snow here in Albany. Roads are really slick. BE CAREFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Irie1]

Here in the Inland Empire it is calm, clear and very sunny. And a bone chilling -24 :shocked:

[glassblower]

Floods are bad news for alot of people, we are luky to own a home high (about 300ft) above the flood line. Best thing would be to warm to about 45 in the vally and hold for about 2 weeks so it does not all melt at once.

[Snapset]

23 degrees and light snow with about 2 new inches here, I was headed over to fish the Alsea this morning, but my truck overheated. (I really, really need a new truck). Roads are super slick. Don't go if you don't gotta.

[Dipnet]

Just got back from Mac. Snowing hard and flakes starting to get much bigger. Still 20 degrees here in Yamhill. Had a message when I got home, closing school at 11:30 don't come to work :grin: !! WOOO-HOOO !!! I get a snow day!!!! I'm a custodian and that's when I usually go to work. Now it's sit in a cozy house with a cup of hot chocolate and watch the flakes fall!!!!

Dipnet :grin:

[Gone Fishin]

With all the snow we have in the hills around here and the rainy forecast for the rest of the week, we could be setting up for another terrible time here in Tillamook. I pray NOT!

I've seen a vew light flakes whip by, it's windy here and around 24 right now.

Hey Dipnet, I went to school there but, that was a long time ago! :shocked:

[Silver Ghost]

Looks like it is starting to snow here in West Linn, but small flakes and not sticking...yet.

[Dipnet]

How long ago and what's your name if you don't mind me asking? I've worked for the Y-C district for 23 years. The first 21 at Y-C High and the last 2 at Carlton Elementary.

Dipnet :grin:

[Drachir]

Here at 700' it's 15 degrees and snowing light small flakes. It's been off and on for about 3 hours, with most of it just blowing around. I will keep you all updated.

[fish-on]

here in Tigard , up on Bull Mtn its 19 deg and the snow is picking up

[trout chaser]

Small flakes, starting to cover the side streets in Battle Ground.

[Steelie28]

Just had about 30 minutes of good snow here in Canby. Truck showed 23 degrees when I got home about an hour ago. Now just small flakes blowing around. I grew up in the far corner of NE Portland. Hit my parents house up for lunch, and man I sure don't miss that east wind! It's colder than all get out with that wind chill. If we get snow like they are saying, there will be some flooding. I was at OSU in 96 and remember going up to Mary's Peak about 3 days before the rains hit. If I remember correctly, there was about 3-5 ft. of snow up there. Could get ugly if the snowpack right now is on par with that. Checked out Alsea falls during the flooding and it looked like a class 10 rapid, crazy.

Steelie28

[Drachir]

It's now 14 degrees, and the snow is coming down pretty good. Flakes are still fairly small, but has increased a bunch from earlier.

[Lured In]

We maxed out at about 19 degrees around 300pm. We are down to 16 now at 550 feet above sea level.

This is from the Oregon Climate Service (NOAA)...

.TONIGHT...SNOW...MAY BE HEAVY AT TIMES. A CHANCE OF FREEZING RAIN
LATE. WINDY. SNOW ACCUMULATION 2 TO 3 INCHES. LOWS 25 TO 30. EAST
WIND 15 TO 25 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 40 MPH.

Call me crazy, but the low is going to be a heck of a lot lower than 25-30.

My forecast is for continued really cold and its going to snow a whole bunch! :grin: The snow will continue until Wednesday morning. [img]graemlins/program.gif[/img] :smile:

[Chromaflage]

Here's my forecast: continued snow job from the weather service. No sign of subsiding until late July. We can put a man on the moon and a rover on mars, but we can't tell what the weather will be tomorrow.

[Stz ll]

Oregon Redside.

You couldn't be more correct.

Here is the latest update for tonite from the climate service. (Notice the change in the low, they must read ifish...or bothered to look at the thermometer) ...

LATE. WINDY. SNOW ACCUMULATION 2 TO 3 INCHES. LOWS 15 TO 25. EAST

I just checked the radar and the largest band of light precip is moving onshore just south of Tbay.

[Slugranch]

Just tripped into the house after fixing furnaces and frozen pipes all day. Finally started dropping a little freezing rain here on the beach at 6:00. Never got very warm today, in fact at noon I had to chip a dog off a fire hydrant up in Ocean Park.

[Jennie@ifish]

No snow as of 7:14.... I am so bummed. I'm beginning to think it will snow all night, then I'll get up to rain slog.

:depressed:

Will that happen? If it does, I'm going back to bed to cry. :depressed:

Jen

[TYEE-FISHER]

Troutdale. Small flakes and WIND!! I just heard my Webber BBQ. roll 40ft across the back yard!!

[Chromaflage]
