  • Yesterday was the first time that I wore a winter coat.  It felt bitter out there, especially with the wind.  The morning was cloudy but the sky cleared in the afternoon, and it was at least bright.  With the sp […]

  • A seasonably cool, generally dry period covered the last half of November with the exception of the rainstorm on the last day of the month (1.00”). Max temperatures mostly held in the 50s with mins mostly in the l […]

  • We received about half an inch of snow overnight and light flurries continue at this time.  Our temperatures today won’t rise much above what they are right now, and more snow is expected tomorrow.  So it looks l […]

  • Greetings all!  I hope your Thanksgiving was safe and peaceful. For the first time in my life, I didn’t spend the holiday in The Dalles with family due to COVID and their vulnerable immune status. Just stayed in […]

  • We had a beautiful morning with clear skies and moderately cool temperatures, but now our sky is almost completely cloud covered.  We are expecting warmer than normal temperatures today but much cooler weather is […]

  • For our high school senior portraits in the Garfield High School yearbook, we had the option of putting a quote next to our name. I quoted the great John Ruskin, a multi-talented, leading English art critic of the […]

  • After a very dreary past two days, the sun is a very welcome sight this morning.  There was a heavy frost overnight, but the sun is quickly melting it.  Yesterday was foggy and drizzly early, then the afternoon r […]

  • Our Thanksgiving Day was quite pleasant.  There was drizzle early but the remainder of the day wasn’t too  bad.  my husband smoked our turkey and it turned out great.  The weather cooperated, and although we did […]

  • There isn’t too much we can say about today except that it is dry, cloudy and very chilly.  At least the wind isn’t an issue.  Highs will remain in the 30s and we aren’t expecting much, if any, sun.  We could se […]

  • October 2020 temperatures were above normal, mostly due to the increasingly more frequent trend of recent years of well above normal average minimum temperatures (51.4° or 5.9° above normal). Essentially the a […]

  • Today began with clouds and a little rain, then skies became mostly clear.  Now they are mostly cloudy once again.  Highs never reached the mid 40s as was predicted and winds were pretty brisk.  We had snow sh […]

  • We woke this morning to snow flurries.  We aren’t really expecting much in accumulation although the southern portions of the state are already reporting an inch of snow cover.  Temperatures will remain in the 3 […]

  • Although the temperatures have dropped significantly, we have plenty of sun and not too much wind.  We have had a lot of sunny days this November which is quite rare for us. I love it.  One doesn’t mind the s […]

  • We certainly can’t complain about our weather today, although it is a bit blustery.  Temperatures have reached the 60s and we have plenty of sun.  Unfortunately, today will probably be the final day for this w […]

  • Today has been quite nice in spite of the wind.  We are currently under a wind advisory until 5 PM and temperatures are in the mid 60s which compensates for the strong winds.  We have had mostly sun until about a […]

  • Yesterday was miserable with temps that didn’t even make it out of the 30s, and just enough wind to make it feel even colder.  We did see a few peeks of sun  as well as scattered snow flurries from time to t […]

  • A cool, slightly wet and notably windy start to the period, followed by several mild days into the low-mid 70s through the middle of the period, then a notably wet period towards the end of this group of days, […]

  • We are currently under a high wind warning from 11AM until 7PM with gusts expected up to 60 mph.  It is quite warm at the present time, but temperatures will continue to fall most of the day.  We received 0.41″ o […]

  • Yesterday was quite nice with a lot of sun and almost no wind.  By afternoon, clouds started rolling in but we received no rain until the overnight hours.  There was only 0.04″ in my gauge this morning, so it w […]

  • We have a very chilly morning although the sun is shining so it isn’t all bad.  It should be a little warmer today with not as much wind.   We never did see any sun yesterday although it remained dry.  Our nex […]
