10/2/2016 7:45 AM 0.43 M M M M
10/3/2016 7:45 AM 0.02 M M M M very cool and damp--haven't acclimated to cooler temperatures yet, but it's still too soon to turn on the heating system
10/4/2016 7:35 AM 0.19 M M M M windy, not raining right now, and feels a bit warmer than yesterday--west winds from the coast tend to feel wet and mild. except when they feel wet and wild.

1/11/2017 8:00 AM 0.42 0.9 M 1.0 M new snow, as an Oregonian in the Willamette Valley, I'm tired of snow and missing my rain. I guess it's pretty, but I have to keep putting birdseed in dry spots and thawing hummingbird feeders.

1/14/2017 7:35 AM 0.00 0.0 M 0.5 M 19 degrees, clear and cold. Mt. Jefferson silhouetted against a faint pink sunrise. The snow is quite crunchy from thawing during the day and refreezing at night. And slowly disappearing.

2/3/2017 7:35 AM 0.10 M M M M thin glaze of ice on everything, not so much on the pavers so walking not effected. I'll have to check the street--street's a bit icy, would call for caution so I'm not driving until it starts to thaw.
2/4/2017 7:35 AM 1.35 M M M M a day when it's a joy to have a nice rain gauge. wind from the west, warmer and very wet, the garden is puddling again.
2/5/2017 7:45 AM 1.88 M M M M a very damp day, good day to stay in and watch football. Or kick on the fireplace and read, occasionally glancing out the window to see if the lakes in the valley below are starting to merge.

2/11/2017 7:45 AM 0.12 M M M M sunny, high 30's, good day to clean up part of where the retaining wall collapsed. The collapse was mainly due to the rain, and incorrect construction.
2/12/2017 7:20 AM 0.01 M M M M the cat doesn't sleep in on weekends, so I was up for a spectacular sunrise, and frost everywhere
2/13/2017 7:45 AM T M M M M sunny and cool and the retaining wall repair guys showed up at 8 AM, promptly unexpected and throwing my morning off.

2/17/2017 8:25 AM 0.41 M M M M cool and cloudy, a bit misty and the granddaughter is still here so I'm running way behind on things--priorities always tip in a grandchild's favor

2/19/2017 7:45 AM 0.47 M M M M
2/20/2017 7:55 AM 0.74 M M M M steady drizzle, and I have to give a garden tour. the puddles will keep my clogs clean.
2/21/2017 7:45 AM 0.91 M M M M went to work in the Marion County demonstration garden (master gardeners work day)and parts of it had large deep puddles making some of the paths impassable. So I dug little ditches to the seasonal creek and drained what I could. Fun!

3/7/2017 7:55 AM 0.26 M M M M 39 degrees, windy and scattered drops of rain--a bit of snow left in sheltered areas where a large lump fell off the roof. What's interesting is that we seem to be just below the snowline--across the valley there's still snow on the ground, at the base of the hill, then slightly above our elevation a fair covering of snow. are they colder, north facing, or just the wee bit higher?
