Don't get me wrong, I love winter...I love snow. But, I am ready for some 'seasonable' weather.

...UNSEASONABLY COLD WEATHER WITH VERY LOW SNOW LEVELS LIKELY COMING

AS THE LOW DIGS SOUTH INTO SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON AND NORTHWEST

PLUMMET TO VALUES SIMILAR TO THOSE DURING THE RECENT SPRING BREAK

JANUARY AND EARLY FEBRUARY. THE SNOW LEVEL WILL LIKELY LOWER TO
1000 FEET OR POSSIBLY EVEN 500 FEET...AND A RAIN OR SNOW MIX IS
POSSIBLE TO NEAR THE VALLEY FLOORS.

THIS COLD AIR WILL ALSO LIKELY RESULT IN SOME NEAR RECORD MORNING LOW

Oh for crying out loud, enough already!

Yeahooooooooo... Time to track some Bears, When I check my Trail Cams.. If not buried under snow, again.

Wait, its April... I think?. just normal earth weather cycles.

The La Nina sytem offshore is really messing with things this year. The latest Earthweek (today's) talked about how the La Nina is expected to create cooler summer weather as well, which means early Spring (at least our typical early spring weather) may last through May, and we may not get a "true" summer. Hooray... er.. wait... I suppose as long as the Santiam water hits 50 I'll be happy. I want the Willamette Falls counts to start climbing.

That darn global warming

The snow is so deep on hood our ski tips allmost touched the ground and they have runs closed so the skiiers dont run into the people on the chair-This was last weekend

very spooky for this time of year. The forcast is for some nice powder this weekend

if you cant beat it might as well go play in it. The willy looks very fishy for this weekend too, if ya dont ski. The century drive lakes will be big time full wile receiving little pressure till the snow abades and the willy will run high through august not to mention good flows all summer for white water kayak. John day is going to be runnable long in to the summer. I love portland, I dont think I saw over 1/4 " of snow in my yard this year.

I am wanting some of this globel warming they have been warning us about.

Promises promises.

Snow is coming and springer season has come to an end ?

NOoooo!!!!!

SalmonNilla · 04-17-2008, 05:37 PM

Man, I bet it's awhile before I'll try to get to any of the high lakes.

JustCallMeDave · 04-17-2008, 08:17 PM

We're not going to turn this into another global warming thread, mmkay?

I just want to go fishing--without my mid-January waterfowl clothes on. Arh! On the bright side, the garage is cleaned out, household chores caught up, and work hours almost enough buffer to take a day off when spring finally does arrive. Columbia R. 60 degrees is a looong way off!
