If you garden or have been outdoors recently, you’re probably aware of what a dry spring it has been in Portland and the northern Willamette Valley. In many years, […]

After almost a week of summer-like temperatures, showers and thunderstorms ushered in some much cooler air, and this will probably be the norm for a while.  Yesterday was still very warm and afternoon […]

After yesterday morning’s thundershowers, the remainder of the day was partly cloudy and mild.  We received just under half an inch of rain.  Temps were in the mid 60s most of the day so it was nice to be out a […]

Our day began with clouds, then thundershowers moved through our area.  It’s the first for this year.  We received just under half an inch and now there is some clearing and a little sun.  Our Easter Sunday was ab […]

La Nina years are known for bringing hefty snows to the Cascades. I still remember the La Nina year of 2007-2008, when I went skiing in the Alpental backcountry on Memorial Day with my mom. We had to skirt around […]

Our Easter morning is warm and sunny with light winds.  It’s perfect.  I don’t think that we will reach 70F but it will get pretty close.  We’ll be cooking out and probably sitting outdoors much of the day.  I lov […]

We couldn’t have a nicer weekend for our Easter celebrations than what this one is turning out to be.  We probably won’t quite reach 70F but will be close tomorrow and early next week.  Regardless, there isn’t a […]

After a nice, warm day on Tuesday, our temperatures have once again dipped back to normal.  This seems to be the pattern that we are in lately.  It goes from one extreme to another.  The problem with yesterday wa […]

Today would be beautiful except for the wind.  It is much too strong to go out and enjoy the day, so we just have to look out the window and wish.  Yesterday wasn’t too bad except that we didn’t see much sun.  It […]

Today certainly isn’t the nicest of days with cloudy skies, a few raindrops and a lot of wind.  Also our temperatures are expected to remain steady or drop as the day goes on.  Northern counties could even see s […]

Our morning began with clear skies, but now there is mostly clouds and the winds have picked up.  Temperatures will be quite a bit warmer than yesterday, and it is actually quite pleasant outdoors.  The rains of T […]
