I'm particularly thinking of you, Santa Barbara. The issue with hard water for me isn’t the taste, it’s how it builds up deposits on everything and makes for extra housework removing them. Mt. Angel, OR has the worst water I have ever encountered. It can ruin appliance pretty quickly, has a strong sulfuric smell, and tastes like rotten eggs.

snow_wizard Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 I think this winter has dethroned the winter of 2005-06 here for east winds. Even today had gusts to around 30.

Sandy rocks Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 If you want to experience a gorgeous place, cold in the winter and pleasant in the summer, you should check out Wallowa Lake. It is somewhat remote but well worth it. I have gone several times in the summer but never in the winter. I do know it gets very cold there with more snow than most of eastern Oregon because it is at about 4000 feet. The mountains are stunning. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandy rocks Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 I know I am being biased but the best water in the world is Bull Run used by Portland and most east Portland towns. It's so pure the Feds wanted to add chemicals and Portland has fought it. I don't know how that stands at the moment though. Comes from the foothills and runs downhill into town, totally works by gravity. Built in the 1880s. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In its natural state... western fires and smoke were much worse than what we see today. Its not even close. We decided in the 1940s to go full board on fire suppression and that worked well for about 60 years. But you can only hold back nature so long and now we have a massive fire deficit to pay back. And a warming climate is accelerating that payback. The absolute worst fire years now pale in comparison to acreage burned before we started messing with nature. In other words... what you and others remember from childhood was unfortunately never going to be sustainable. 8 Quote **REPORTED CONDITIONS AND ANOMALIES ARE NOT MEANT TO IMPLY ANYTHING ON A REGIONAL LEVEL UNLESS SPECIFICALLY STATED** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
