Mid 20's this morning.  They say a high today of 41 but I am skeptical....they have been missing on the high side since the weekend.  We must be in a cold spot compared to the weather guessers location.  There is supposed to be some snow moving through the area the next two nights.

No golf this weekend. In my 5 years here it’s never been this cold for a daytime high. @Kenny B6E4F31FE-D13B-491C-BEBD-8124ED396ADB.jpeg.bf91d0f0670470c3fffd8c31f976f01b.jpeg

The Willamette Valley is " bracing" for some sort of Artic Blast. Snow, ice, and freezing rain. Current reports shows Salem not really getting hit as hard as the forecast   projected a few days ago

Did you cut the tag off your mattress?  Did you see an old lady crossing the street and think "naaaah"?  Karma...  Lol

It could be worse.  -3 is the forecasted HIGH here on Saturday.  I really hope the Air Force moves me farther south next year.

My mattress tag is intact. No old lady's near me to cross the street. But I did think about hitting a cow crossing the street though. Then I realized it is cheaper to buy steak than replace the front end of my car.  

-3 degrees.... I'm sorry, I won't complain again. 😁

2 - 4 " of snow this morning depending if you are on the grass (more) or on the gravel driveway (less).  

29* and it might be done snowing for the day until another wintry mix comes through tonight.

I guess the exercise today will be pushing snow off the deck and driveway.

No... it's not. 

I've been in Corvallis OR all week moving stuff out of my dad's assisted living apt.  He's in rehab after his fall on Christmas Day and won't be coming back.  In a few weeks he will be moving up to my area in Washington.

We had planned on leaving and driving home tomorrow, but the Columbia Gorge has a winter storm warning from today through Friday night; up to 20 inches of snow, winds 55-70mph gusts; wind chill 5 to -15º.  I think I will stay another night and head home Saturday; car full of stuff!!

Turned cold and a skiff of snow here on Vancouver Island, so no golf for a week ?  maybe more.  Can't complain, been playing 4 times a week but it has been very wet.  So wet that it's been push carts on paths only !! 21,000 steps has actually had me thinking of trying a carry bag instead of my electric trolley.  Temperature has dipped below zero *C but prior to that we have been 3-6*C (37-42 F)

24 this morning and we are staying below 30 today.  Just cloudy though, no snow forecast.  I hope you guys in the ice belt from the storm are making out OK.  I hate the ice storms because with all the trees along the lines coming back our road we usually lose electric for quite a while.

Sorry to hear about your dad. Might want to check the weather  as it seems PDX is getting some real snow tonight and tomorrow  Salem has a pretty good  ice layer with a dusting of snow and even more ice coming tonight and tomorrow.

Yeah, I know.  Doesn't look any better tomorrow, and I'm tired of take-out and delivery food after a week.  I've been driving through the Gorge for Thanksgiving and Christmas for 52 years; seen some pretty nasty roads.  A few years ago coming down for Christmas, we saw a snowplow/sanding truck upside down in the median on I-84... we kept going because if we stopped, we wouldn't get going on the ice again.  Should be better once we get past Portland.

Well, this trip through the Columbia River Gorge was interesting.  I-5 was icy from Salem north to Portland and around Portland on I-205.  Just as we merged onto I-84 in east Portland the traffic slowed from 35mph to about 5 mph; came around the bend and saw this:

IMG_5680.jpeg.93bf68e74acbbbe609d9b779bca90869.jpeg

IMG_5681.jpeg.2250bcd48f8efd3c001f422ef94ef51b.jpeg

That's not going to buff out!!

We moved along pretty well about 40mph through Troutdale, then just west of Multnomah Falls all traffic came to a stop.  Snowing and the wind was blowing probably 40mph directly into us.  We sat there for about 30 minutes; lots of truck traffic.  We started moving about 2-3 mph for the next 30 minutes.  After Multnomah Falls exit we got up to 35-40mph again.

IMG_1355.jpeg.bf64abbb41dbaf43a75256bf33c397fd.jpeg

The snow was blowing so much that at some points, it was almost a white-out.  I tucked in behind an 18-wheeler and followed.  Once we got past Hood River, traffic was better and the roads were just packed snow with not much ice, and the wind was less.  After The Dalles the roads were bare; de-icer was used.  

Overall, the normal 4.5 hour (5 hours because my wife has to pee) 300 mile trip took 8 hours (2 pee stops; one stop for lunch).  Got home at 7pm (snowing hard here).  I just heard that the Oregon State Police closed I-84 from Troutdale to Hood River at 9pm.  They are expecting feet of snow and winds 50-60mph tonight and Saturday.  

Making this trip through the Gorge for Thanksgiving and Christmas every year for 52 years, I would rank this trip in the top 10 for bad conditions, but it's not in the top 5.

With COVID lockdown we can only play in 2 balls at the moment but the course has been open only 5 days since Christmas. Heavy snowfall this week course closed again. Thaw due to start tomorrow so hopefully course might re-open by the end of the week.

Well for us it has been rain rain rain. Rain for the next 7 days. Temp in the high 30s with the wind blowing makes it raw bone chilling cold here at sea level. On top of all the rain we have had that same system that reaked havoc in Texas is coming across but without the snow and ice. Drainage here is a issue to with the sandy soil. A lot of the ranges mine included are closed because they can not pick due to wet ground and they also lose too many balls due to plugging

That's not going to buff out!!
We moved along pretty well about 40mph through Troutdale, then just west of Multnomah Falls all traffic came to a stop.  Snowing and the wind was blowing probably 40mph directly into us.  We sat there for about 30 minutes; lots of truck traffic.  We started moving about 2-3 mph for the next 30 minutes.  After Multnomah Falls exit we got up to 35-40mph again.

The snow was blowing so much that at some points, it was almost a white-out.  I tucked in behind an 18-wheeler and followed.  Once we got past Hood River, traffic was better and the roads were just packed snow with not much ice, and the wind was less.  After The Dalles the roads were bare; de-icer was used.  
Overall, the normal 4.5 hour (5 hours because my wife has to pee) 300 mile trip took 8 hours (2 pee stops; one stop for lunch).  Got home at 7pm (snowing hard here).  I just heard that the Oregon State Police closed I-84 from Troutdale to Hood River at 9pm.  They are expecting feet of snow and winds 50-60mph tonight and Saturday.  
Making this trip through the Gorge for Thanksgiving and Christmas every year for 52 years, I would rank this trip in the top 10 for bad conditions, but it's not in the top 5.

Yup, snow/ice can make travel miserable.
Years ago it took me 4.5 hours to travel 11 miles to home.

Well, this trip through the Columbia River Gorge was interesting.  I-5 was icy from Salem north to Portland and around Portland on I-205.  Just as we merged onto I-84 in east Portland the traffic slowed from 35mph to about 5 mph; came around the bend and saw this:

Oh man..rough trip. I wondered if you would bail yesterday with all the snow and ice in the forecast.  

Pretty much have had freezing rain here in Keizer since Thursday night. Its 330 am here and Ive had a restless night worried about trees around my house.Power out all over and trees coming down. Roaming FB I see my sister had a tree come down about 1sm that just missed her house. 

I dont lose power much at my place but Im going to shower while I can, bundle up, survey my neighborhood.

So spooky outside. Transformers popping, and trees/branches falling everywhere. Sounds like a war zone with all the popping. Ive lost a good portion of a birch and one limb caught the house which is what got me up. Brushed it. 

Neighbor lost a limb while I was outside that hit the cable to a light pole. Moved the top about 3 feet. Thought it was coming down. 

Going to be a long day until it gets above freezing which isnt for another 4 hours.

We are on the rain/sleet/freezing rain line for today.  Nothing yet but it is supposed to start rolling through about noon.  The grass is still snow covered and will probably stay that way until next weekend at least since temps are staying right at freezing all week.  Don't forget to get your valentine flowers today.
