All infrastructure remains intact and residents are safe. Whew! Honestly I really don't get the people who are happy that it wasn't as warm as forecast today. I understand wanting it to be colder in the mountains that way the snowpack gets preserved, but the mountains seemed to have preformed as forecast today, so there's really nothing to celebrate. If it's already going to be above freezing where you live, why not root for it to get even warmer? I don't think anyone feels "uncomfortable" in mid/upper 60s, I know I loved it getting to 67 here today!

It should begin with a sudden cooling in Nino 1+2 due to upwelling along the Coast of South America in couple of weeks or maybe less. El Niño is here to stay through the rest of winter and spring.

In my personal opinion, Washington is a more scenic and a better state for my hobbies, climbing, hiking, skiing, and mountaineering, but me and my wife definitely prefer living in oregon. I don't think there are any towns in Washington that I'd rather live in than the sunriver, bend, la pine area. Live here, and visit Washington a couple times a year works perfectly for me. 1 Quote Coldest temp this winter: -7 Jan 13th Snow depth at Mount Bachelor (last updated April 29th) 88" Snow depth at my home (updated April 29th) late season 1"! 23-24 seasonal snowfall at home (updated April 29th) 92"!!
