Front Ranger Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 I love that my snow melted so quickly. Watching it die a slow dead is excruciating.

bainbridgekid Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 Snow falling/accumulating beats any kind of snow just sitting there. Or melting, fast or slow.Absolutely. I love solid snowcover as much as the next guy, but I've never understood the hate on transition events. Go out and enjoy the heavy snow for however many hours you get it and when it turns to rain, go inside and look at the pictures you took. I'd rather a 6" snowstorm that lasts 6 hours than a 2" storm that lasts a few days. More dynamic.

Considering how rare it is around here. But I still become baffled at anyone who let's the weather determine their moods. Long stretches of cloudy, drizzly, cold weather in the warm season (May - Sept) gets me down. Primarily because it does not feel like the warm season and prevents warm season activities. We can hike year-round so I don't count that as just a summer activity. I really don't care care any longer what happens between October - March. Expectations are very low. Snow and cold are always a bonus. Give me some periods of offshore flow between the rainy periods and all is good here.

Some high elevation places are only open a few months a year. Your family nature walks to city parks are definitely a year round thing though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does not have to be 55 and drizzling in Portland for you to enjoy hiking at 6,000 feet.
