Not only was it about six degrees this morning in Bend, but we woke up to blowing snow and snow drifts in our backyard and cul-de-sac. Fun! You can see the ground in some spots, others are buried in drifts up to six inches deep. On the radio they claimed it was an Arctic front… Continue reading Snow drifts!

The snow started
For anyone keeping track of these things, the snow they keep warning us about (last I heard, the advisory was from 3pm today until something like 5am tomorrow morning) has started in earnest at about 1:30pm, here in Downtown Bend.
Digging out
Today was one of those days when you wake up, blink, and there’s eight inches of snow on the ground. That’s pretty rare for Bend. (Lapine and Sunriver, not so much. But for Bend and points east and north, rare.) It’s still coming down. The snow advisory is still on, through at least seven o’clock… Continue reading Digging out

It’s coming down pretty good; I’m downtown, and looking out the window I’m seeing an inch or so, I think. Driving is pretty awful right now; normally I go home for lunch but… Continue reading Bend snow!
First snow of the season

This is looking into my front yard from the driveway (it’s diagonal, though, so the house you… Continue reading More Snow

Snow! Good grief!
Winter’s coming early this year; it snowed in Bend today, about three weeks early. Ordinarily Central Oregon doesn’t get its first snow until late November, and that melts off and it doesn’t snow again until after Christmas. (When I say snow, I mean a significant amount that covers everything under a white blanket, not a… Continue reading Snow! Good grief!
