a normal cold winter here means the dogs stay clean and the firewood splits easier as it freezes. Hey Bushler,is your nama tree outside,Ive read that you can winter them with compost material stack up on the trunk.

It's coming down about an inch an hour according to the parked Subaru snow accumulation measurement system. I went in to work, shoveled walks, did phone and computer stuff and came home. I don't feel like playing log truck roulette this morning.
The tragedy of the morning was losing one of the dog toys in the snow.
I'll have to turn on the tv and see if Seattle is getting it yet. Panic and anarchy will then happen!

its been awful here, we get normal temps for this time of the year 10-20* during the day then we get these days where its 50-60* and everything thaws out and gets muddy and makes a big mess. then the next day all the melted water freezes and makes black ice all over the roads. 
Blow me some of that cold air guys. We are having some very warm temps here in va. Every thing has thawed out at work, you should see the mud!!
I expect that the foresters will shut er down in the next week.

AK, I don't actually own a banana tree, its a joke. The area I live in is refered to as the 'Banana Belt', of Oregon. SW corner, we get the occasional thermal trough from CA and the warming influence from the Jap ocean current to keep our winter pretty mild. But really, no banana trees.
Tonight...a couple hours ago.
Still coming down.

Same over here on the east side of the state. That could be my PU right now. Supposed to get at total of "up to 16" by tomorrow afternoon.
Wife is in spokane hospital, went up this morning over bare with ice patches highway, arrived 10am, by 11 it was snowing at 2 or more inches an hour, visibility basically down to about 100 ft. I left at 11:15 and arrived home at 1:30 - about 2 hours for a normal 50 minue drive. Already advised everybody that I am not going to try to get up there again tomorrow. I am keeping updated by phone with the ICU.
Shoveled the patios so the dogs could get out an hour ago. Looks like I have anohter 2 or 3 inches back on there. Good wind going too so it is coming down almost horizontal.

A couple more inches fell and it is snowing this morning. It is belly deep on the used dog. It'll be dig out the office this morning. A log truck went off the road yesterday and lost the load down the steep hillside. They got the truck back up and that guy said he's done for the winter on that spot. It'll take plowing to get equipment out. One guy might haul decks from the road building but I imagine it all will be shut down till a melting occurs. I will be walking up that road unless they plow it down to the rock. Too scary.

There are a lot of steep hillsides here too. Teehee
The roads yesterday were bare pavement main drag to Bend and then some packed snow here and there.
I was hit, (tapped gently by someone who didn't distinguish the difference between bare pavement and snow). It was minor. Got out of my macho civic just for show and inspection. They looked like extras from a COPS episode with kids in the back so I forgave them and zoomed off myself.
===============
It is very important to have harsh weather in Central Oregon to delete two portions of the population.
1) Transients - guys in tents by campfires with garbage all over the place.
2) Transients - wealthy folks from the valley or california, (I did distinguish between the two - I've had the training and I can), who stay here for the pristine mountain desert experience with a few thousand friends.
Wish us luck.

Watch OUT! That family could have been a gang who really wanted to carjack you!
I got a call yesterday about a log truck that suddenly became a self unloader on a switchback. Not sure if I can get up there today, nor do I want to. He said it'd take a yarder to get the logs back up, and that is not an option. Sounds like the rats and fish will get some nice peelers.

Yeah most people don't believe it until you show them pictures. And even then some find it hard to believe.
Some from last winter (23 feet of snow last season).

Seems like summer today at -22°.
It was -43° Monday morning, too cold to snow much.
No, that's not with the wind chill.
Back to winter tomorrow and the weekend with minus thirty something.
If I could afford it, I'd catch the first plane southbound.

It is typical for me here on AS to post an "I'm Impressed" comment when I see someone cut way better than me.
Simple, accurate and humble.
