The forecast for Bend this coming week, with lows in the lower 20s and highs in the mid 40s...
...could easily be for mid-winter instead of mid-spring.
I returned home to Bend with my travel trailer, thinking "winter is over". And yet...I just went out and winterized the RV's water system. Oh well...that's why I bought RV anti-freeze on the way home: "Just in case...".

Mr. BC, you got me to check our forecast. Starting Monday, a chance of snow all week, but with little accumulation. Lows down to 23. I did not take the snow tires off of Julie's Subaru

So after a couple of months of "spring" we are going cold again. We will bring the orchids and succulents and geraniums back inside - where I do not know as the greenhouse is full of vegetable plants. My pear tree is in full bloom and the apples are budded up. I think this may be another year (like the last one) when we have local peaches and apricots but no apples. Last year the birds got the few pears that survived - I figured they needed them more than I did.
I believe it was during the days of Bodie and other gold mining that what is now Walker/Coleville was the fruit and veggie "basket" of Mono County and the store in Coleville was known for it's excessively high prices. Bridgeport could go below freezing in July even just 20 years ago and now they grow tomatoes. Memorial Day used the be the date we could put out tender veggies. The past two years I have had to cover my peppers because of snow the second week of June and in a conversation yesterday a neighbor told a story of stripping his children's beds of sheets to protect the garden, "Dad, that is my bed", "Here is your sleeping bag sweetie".

We had a skiff of snow here in Bend overnight, now mostly melted...no big deal. But what's a bit freakish is that Portland got several inches.
Snow in Portland isn't common but it's not freakish in winter. However, it is in April. A friend in Portland posted these shots of their yard this morning:
These folks have landscaped their yard to look like Southern California, with palms and lots of succulents. This requires digging up, potting, and greenhouse-ing many of them over winter, then replanting outside after the "last frost". Palms and banana trees don't do well with snow...
