Where on Vancouver Island is this "Silverson", Andrew?

I suppose December can still be a snowy one if it starts towards middle of the month. In 2012 my first 1+ inch of snowfall was 12/15, ended up with 18" over the following two weeks. In 2015 the first 10 days of Dec had no measurable snow, and ended with 33.1" that month. 

But it is pretty common to have snows in the first week or two here.

Looks pretty foggy down in the willamette valley. Looks like the clouds are about to thicken up here.

Okay I just washed my truck just like I did Thanksgiving weekend 2008...I also won’t get my Christmas lights up until the first weekend of December...Like 2008...Things are lining up nicely now!! 

[The Swamp]

I cut the grass and raked more leaves today.  If it does snow, it has a clean slate to stick to.

I'd prefer three or four weeks of weather just like today though.  D**n it's beautiful.

Gonna drink a beer or three and smoke one down.  Ahhhhhhhh!

I hope it's not too strange that my decorations were up before Halloween.

[Jesse]

Sun is out here now. 43 degrees.

I would have had mine up weeks ago but too many of my lights decided not to work this year. Still deciding on what type to buy this time around. 

[MossMan]

Nice evening. Tons of people out fishing on the pier here in Edmonds. Thought maybe there were some Orcas out there, but all those people have fishing poles. 
 

No social distancing!!

[FroYoBro]

Looks foggy at the civil war.

Quiet night on lake Tapps. Super peacefully once the water level drops for the winter

Watching the OU/OSU game. Man that inversion is soupy down there. 

[Dave]

36 degrees with dense fog. Misery.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

36F and wondering if we will hit freezing? Might be close.

Looks gross down there.   I would actually much prefer heavy rain to that crap.

[Jesse]

Morning fog and afternoon sun here. 46/32. Pretty nice day.

Currently clear with a nearly full moon, and down to 39.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Little fog never hurt anything.

Debatable.   

Regardless... I sort find it claustrophobic.   Its one of my least favorite weather conditions... particularly when it locks in for long periods.   

But that is just my opinion.  I fully realize some people absolutely love it and are laser-focused on temp stats and that is extremely important to them.     Different strokes.    Nature's gonna do what nature's gonna do!

Poor air quality is bad in the summer but if it comes with cold fog during the winter it becomes a good thing.

I grew up with it. It kind of typified the dark dank of Oregon winter. We don’t get much fog up here.

Those are Oregon white oaks. They are actually native to western Oregon and Washington. Areas of oak savannah used to extend up the Willamette Valley all the way to the southern Puget sound. There is even a west side sub-species of ponderosa pine that is adapted to this environment (drier, shadowed areas west of the Cascades). I think it is found all the way up to the Fort Lewis area, which has actually managed to preserve some large swaths of native prairie by nature of being a military reservation.

A little late to the conversation, but I wanted to mention that two of Tacoma's parks, Oak Tree Park and Wapato Hills Park, have nice groves of the Oregon white or Garry Oak.  They are a protected species and grow in what is considered a critical area for zoning purposes.

Eugene was not able to break out of it today.

Meteorological winter starts in 4 days.
