Unless there is obvious bits that support cold making it and sticking around to this side of the coast then I just don't see a reason to get excited over what will be great pictures from Andrew and Tim. Anyway, its probably time to hand the forum over to someone else. Phil, check your DMs for the admin password and the ssh keys needed.

I really appreciate some of those desolate Eastern Oregon towns. Lakeview, Dayville, John Day, Prairie City. We can see the milky way out here. I used to take 20-30 of my students each summer to Malheur to do some birding and then hike up in the Steens. Amazing country. The drive through the high desert through Brothers, Hampton, Millican, and Riley was special. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder in that stark environment. We'd find an old dirt road, pull over after a long day fossil hunting at the Painted Hills or the town of Fossil. we'd just throw out our sleeping bags in the sage brush and listen to the coyotes all night long. For the city kids it was a rich experience. No rattlers but lots of black widows! We'd always flush a few burrowing owls there which was a highlight. One year on August 12th we got caught in a great snowstorm at Lily Lake at 7k on the Steens. Never a bad time to sing Christmas carols as that's what we did. I think we pegged 124 species of birds on that trip. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like the type of pattern the cold dry air gets locked in for you long enough to get some accumulations while the East wind persists. 850mb temps will be above freezing up through the Sound though, so that warm nose could easily screw you since it isn't effected by lower level offshore flow.
