  • The forecast is calling for partly sunny conditions today, but once again there is no sign of the sun.  We did see a few peeks of the sun late yesterday but not enough to matter.  It didn’t get very warm e […]

  • When most Portlanders think of December, they think of Christmas trees, advent calendars, and cars with those big bows on them. Certainly not sunny skies, and much less 50+ degree temperatures to accompany […]

    • Charlie, I’ve been enjoying the dry weather here, especially when having the doggies outside, though looking forward to more precip., especially mountain snows.
      incidentally, when I saw your blog post title, I first read, “Rainier” as the volcano instead of the wet version! Wow, to get a Mt. Rainier pattern in Portland would be AMAZING!!

    • Mountains looked beautiful yesterday from afar, bummed I couldn’t go up this weekend but aiming to next weekend! And yes, Mark Ingalls thought the same thing when he saw the title 😀

    • Thanks so much for reading Rich! If you ever have any questions about the technical points just post them in the comments and I’ll do my best to answer them.

  • I thought that we were supposed to see the sun today, but it hasn’t happened so far.  In fact, the forecast is still calling for a little sun this afternoon, but it’s already 3 PM and skies continue to be […]

    November 2020 Mean Temperatures averaged just a bit below Normal in the area, less than a one-degree departure. The first few days were the warmest of the month, with Maximum Temperatures reaching […]

  • Our forecast for today called for sun and decreased winds.  So far, there has been no sign of the sun and the forecast is now saying mostly cloudy with possibly a little sun later on.  At least we don’t have s […]

  • After a cloudy afternoon on Thursday, we were given a gorgeous sunset.  Temperatures were even a bit on the mild side but the wind was quite blustery.  Regardless, we have really had lovely weather for the most p […]

  • Our morning began with clear skies but now it has become overcast.  A mix of sun and clouds is in our forecast for the next week but no precipitation is mentioned.  We know how fast that can change.  Re […]

  • 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 […]

  • 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 […]
