2 years ago on this day it was 13 degrees at noon with blizzard conditions and heavy snow/sleet. 9 years ago there was still a foot of snow on the ground here and Hillsboro airport had a 25/3 day.

Because I can

Snowy days ahead!! I'll take 5"+ in a heartbeat.

One of my co-workers had this issue and she had both knees replaced at 48... that was 2 years ago and she has never been happier. Now she hikes and skis with no issues.
