Rain here also, enough to make everything wet, not enough to fill the gutters. Forecast for my trip is looking a little more "interesting".

I just got power last night. The mountains are really beautiful but I really could have done with out the 50 mph winds. I am always amazed how beautiful and clear the sky is after the big storms come through.MarkBC said:NOAA: Biggest Storm Since 2014/15 to Hit Oregon This Weekend | 25′ Waves, 60mph Winds 20″ of Snow
Hope so!
Snow = good. And sounds like a fun time to be at the coast.
I should be OK. I'm not driving until Wednesday afternoon, so highways should be plowed and sanded by then. (assuming that the forecast is accurate and the snow stops by Wednesday morning)Wandering Sagebrush said:Mark, carefull. Rain, then freezing weather on this side of the hill.
