Fall 2015

Rain here also, enough to make everything wet, not enough to fill the gutters. Forecast for my trip is looking a little more "interesting".
 
Fall is great.
About 4 this afternoon,Silver Lk and Carson Pass.
It's a start.

Moved 4 inches of heavy wet slop this morning. Glad I did the snowblower maintenance last Sunday morning. Maybe we will get a real winter this go around? :)
 
No precip here in central Oregon, but the temperatures are winter-like -- overnight low was 24°F...and at 10 a.m. it's only 37°.
 
I've never seen a tornado warning (here) this time of year. Glad they worked on my roof before winter.

I understand that they have just sighted sea snakes off the so.cal coast----could this be a new Fall sign of things to come? Floods, sea snakes, what's next?

Maybe it's the year for cicadas?

Think billions of these at once.
Of course, allow for 17 years between hatches.

The forecast for Thanksgiving week is looking a lot like winter in the high desert of southeast Oregon -- temperature-wise, anyway, with sub-freezing highs and lows in the teens (Fahrenheit).


Long range forecast for Fields, Oregon.

But it's mostly the kind of winter scenario that makes camping worthwhile, no matter how cold: clear and sunny!
:)

It's about the same forecast at home in Bend:
Bend_20151120-1.jpg
...so might as well be camping. ;)
 
First in-town snow of the season forecast (100% likelihood) for Bend tomorrow.

This forecast from Weather Underground BestForecast predicts 5 - 8 inches, but local TV weather and The Weather Channel predict less.

I'm glad to see that Wednesday and following days are fair (though cold) because I'm driving across the Cascades for Thanksgiving.

Mark, carefull. Rain, then freezing weather on this side of the hill.
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)
