If you are from Florida, at least you know what you are getting yourself into moving to Georgia.  What part of the state are you moving to?  I grew up in and around Atlanta, and also spent some time in Athens and down near Valdosta.  I moved around ALOT when I lived there.

Looking at northern Georgia, somewhere like Ellijay. It's my grandparents decision, not mine. I'm just here to help them move to wherever they pick!

It's snowing here

PDX metro under another WWA through tomorrow morning.

We're potentially looking at three consecutive days with measurable snowfall at PDX. Not quite June 2021 levels of unprecedented, but it seems safe to say we're in pretty uncharted territory here, even going back to the 19th century.

Good news is that the weakest branches in your area were already culled in yesterday's snowfall. Only strongest now remain, which under any future snowfall (likely much lighter than yesterday) would most likely survive.

That's a great point, thank you. Only problem now is that I've got an appointment at 8am tomorrow morning.. lol.

My family is moving to Georgia in just a couple months, so this was our final winter in the beautiful PNW. After getting completely skunked earlier in the season we had resigned ourselves to no more snow (we are Floridian so we live for the snow). And then this happens. I feel awful for all the animals, though. I also hear local orchards have been impacted, which is horrible.

ALSO I see NWSPortland recently posted a SWS as well as this recent tweet. Someone pinch me, I must be dreaming?

Also, sorry for multiple posts. Most of these images were on my phone whereas this post is coming from my desktop.

I'd also rather not do this again; I spent hours today cleaning up downed tree branches with a power saw. Cleaned up my 95-year-old neighbors' trees and yard. Additionally I lost power Monday morning briefly which was actually scary since I didn't know how long it would take to restore
