kmmv
sitting ~18f ...blustery
overnight a blessing of snow...enough to coat landscape beds, roads and roofs. small timeframe, early am, of ZR ...but sleet has dominated the day. heavier precipitation will spit snowflakes.
rock 'n rolling in mcminnville ...KMMV reported gust to 46, shortly before 06:00. otherwise south wind whipping in the mid 20's with gust in mid to upper 30's.
completely disagree on social media changed it...made it more widely recognizable conversation piece, certainly.
my age shows but before the internet it was a hot button topic with parents complaining of the morning darkness and i can very well remember the grumblings in the dorm because people were pissy or hung over for about a week.
i'm assuming you're talking about the B and B Complex Fire..."it's still a big field of dead sticks". from the highway, yes, but the abundance of new vegetation is incredible. it's flourishing.
