    30.1 in SE PDX (Mt Tabor). Winds picking up and gusting. Trees are more iced up than they were yesterday and power's flickering. Couple branches already cracked off the tree in back, one smacked the patio cover pretty good. Dog went downstairs, like F this I'm out.

    Studded tires are the only reason I made it up the icy hill and home yesterday after driving back from Astoria. They're also why I didn't end up sideways like this red car on my street too!

    31.6 and dropping in SE PDX (was 32.8 at 7:00 this morning). Starting to get a little icing again on tree limbs AND a breeze has kicked back up, which is super awesome...

    More sleet mixed in with the zr now in Astoria (south of downtown about 6mi and east of the coast about 5mi). Temp still 24, dp "up" a degree to 21. Just went out to rubber band some of those pocket hand warmers onto the hummingbird feeder so those lil guys can keep feeding

    In Astoria visiting the parental units for the weekend. Currently freezing rain with a good solid glaze on everything. 24/20dp

    @LowerGarfield Someone down there sure thinks so... Although, honestly if the main slug of moisture heads that far south, I'd actually expect the river to jump up into the mid 20's "height-wise", not just upper teens as they have it now.

    Survived by the hair of our chinny chin chin and the relentless efforts of the firefighters. In the almost 40yrs that place has been in our family, that's the closest the fires has ever been. F-in terrifying for the folks that actually live there (pic is from our upstream neighbor)

    Ya both got good memory cards in ya brain space! I've been too focused on IMBY that I haven't spent much time looking at NIMBY. The Collier tunnel road cam on 199 showed a few inches of snow a couple days ago but that's CA coast range "summit" elevation so it gets dusted from time to time.

    It's good to be back lurking around here, kinda missed you degenerates From now on, when friends or family ask "if it's going to snow?", just copy/paste your local forecast discussion into chatgpt, it actually doesn't totally suck for a response. Bonus points for telling it to answer "like a surfer" lol

    I remember watching that unfold. We were driving from PDX to Whistler on the front end of that "event". Went from, "omg this is going to be the absolute best/worst drive ever!", to all rain. The entire trip and even the lower part of Whistler itself was F-in rain. Boo.

    Can confirm the confirmation. Sloppy white rain business in SE PDX trying its lil heart out to stick on non road surfaces In other news, it also snowed a couple inches just north of Gasquet International Airport this morning
  12. DRG
    Oof. Looks like I-5 in southern Oregon is closed north of a Grants Pass.

    Never doubt the accuracy of the repurposed freezer temp-o-meter Old "weather station" died this trip, had to improvise...

    The longer we stay, the harder it is to leave...which was originally going to be yesterday, but now it'll be Wednesday lol. Crazy thing is that we'll STILL have snow on the ground at our house in PDX when we get back
  15. DRG
    Woke up to another soggy inch or so down in Gasquet CA (325'). This will be 4th time it's snowed in the last 18 days that we've been here and still another legit shot at some more snow tonight. Just incredible.

    Thanks for the heads up. That's one of the more detailed AFD's I've read in a while. His comment about "snow covered" parts in the metro area likely remaining snow/ice covered thru the end of this coming week was a fun little nugget
  17. DRG
    It's the middle fork of the Smith River. Been coming here for decades (shared family place) and this is the first time I've been here when it's snowed more than once. Just unreal beauty everywhere

    Woke up to about 5" in Gasquet this morning. Warmed up down here a fair amount this morning, lots of melting. Then winds kicked up and now it's trying to stick again (vid). House in PDX had 10"+ this morning according to neighbors (pic). 272114357_PXL_20230223_2056548833.mp4

    Meanwhile...26,482 otters east of Crescent City, CA 1225586606_PXL_20230223_033548485.CINEMATIC3.mp4

    Only reason I'm not losing my D**n mind being outta town while this is literally happening at our house is I happen to be in 300 miles south and also in a winter storm warning...
  21. DRG
    That's messed up lol
  22. DRG
    Just checked my camera at home in SE PDX...OMGWTFLOLOL! That's at least 3"+ And traffic maps all show the burgundy death snarl...it must be such a nightmare on the roads right now
  23. DRG
    Picked up about 2"+ overnight. NWS has bumped up their projected totals for the area. Looks like later today thru the first half of tomorrow is going to shake its money maker down here (15 miles east of Crescent City, CA about 300' asl). Lots of dripping going on...probably switch to rain here at some point for a bit.
  24. DRG
    For the next week-ish, I'll be where the green dot is...please make this happen
  25. DRG
    I'll have the temporary warming center set up in Gasquet, CA. While we'll have twice the snow, I'll make sure to put everyone out on the river in floaty things where there will be zero snow. And the water will technically be warmer than the snow, thereby not jeopardizing my tax exempt 503b charitable warming center status. I'm not the hero you want but I am the hero you get...
