Gradient Keeper Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 I agree with others we've also had an insane amount of fir/pine needles. I have raked and swept up over a dozen piles of them from just one tree and there are more. We also have had a total lack of garden spiders I've seen two and usually in September-October we have to contend with a dozen or more. I guess that's from the heatwave then. Oh and east winds. Yeah. Without east winds PDX simply would have few and very brief snow events. I love my east winds. 00z GFS in 16 minutes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakeinthevalley Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 13 minutes ago, snow_wizard said: One interesting fact I found out about cottonwoods is they use the cellulose from the trees to make some of the finest paper available. I didn't realize they had some commercial value until then. Same reason they have been genetically modified and raised on plantations. They grow fast and are easily replenished. Downside is they require a lot of water and have not yet become economically viable. There was a plantation just off I84 in eastern oregon that was harvested but has since been plowed under 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 My theory with the cottonwood and I can be completely bullshiiit here because I know absolutely nothing about trees but due to the extreme this pass June + several more warm spells + long duration of dryness caused these trees to go into hyperdrive in order to survive so they have to draw more moisture up from the ground than usual. Couple then with the fact we then have extremely wet/cool month kinda help these trees color up nicely in the fall. Enough sunshine then wet/cool. The cool part seems to be the biggest factor though. and yes, the cottonwoods do actually look decent this year compare to previous. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It often helps up here when it counts for snow though. 1 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...
Deweydog Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 I can’t imagine living in some of the spots in the western gorge. There are quite a few residences up in the Cape Horn area that can easily see 50+ mph gusts for 7-10 day stretches once any kind of cold pool becomes established. Some years are worse than others but that would take a lot of getting used to. 5 2 Quote My preferences can beat up your preferences’ dad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Rubus Leucodermis Posted November 2, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 Two pictures I’ve been meaning to post here for some time. These are aftermath of the December 1996 snowstorms at about 300 feet elevation in Shoreline, WA (just north of Seattle). Conditions when these were taken was moderate to heavy rain and a temperature of about 50°F, so there had been significant melting and compaction by this time.
