Yup, here in Bend, too...with maybe a couple of summer-like days thrown in -- just as a tease.ski3pin said:

It sure does, Craig! The roof avalanche tool is too heavy for Julie to use for long periods. We got her a light weight aluminum roof rake that is easy for her to handle. She takes the roof snow off a foot or so above the gutters.craig333 said:

...Cooler, Unsettled Weather this Week...
* A slow moving low pressure system will provide daily chances for
a mix of rain, snow, and pellet showers this week with rain-snow
lines lowering to 5500-7000 feet by Tuesday morning. A few
thunderstorms will also be possible each day (20-30% chance).
* Be prepared for snow showers in the Sierra. While warm road
temperatures and the early May sun angle may limit accumulations
on paved surfaces, bursts of heavy snow and/or snow occurring
during the overnight hours could bring travel impacts to
mountain passes.
* Expect gusty southerly winds to develop through mid-week with
the strongest winds targeting portions of Churchill, Mineral,
Lyon, and Mono Counites with potential crosswind travel impacts
to US-395 and US-95.
* Temperatures will cool to season averages on Monday before
dipping 5 to 10 degrees below early May normals through much of
the upcoming week.
* Additional low pressure systems may track across the region by
next weekend which could yield continued cool and breezy
conditions. This may yield more rain and snow showers with snow
levels remaining around 6000 to 8000 feet.A similar change up here, Mr. 3pin. A variable couple of weeks ahead, but mostly at or below seasonal temperatures -- with some "weather" at times.ski3pin said:

...Additional Showers and Thunderstorms Today into the Weekend...
* Scattered rain/snow/pellet showers will once again develop
today, with a 15-30% chance for a thunderstorm at any given
location. Rain-snow lines will hover near 6000-7000 feet today,
falling overnight, where heavier showers could bring snow as low
as 4500-5500 feet at times.
* Tonight and into Friday, there is a strong signal for the
heavier showers to focus across north central Nevada, especially
for Pershing County north of Lovelock. Elsewhere, shower
activity will be more isolated in nature.
* Yet another round of rain and snow showers arrives Saturday with
the main focus in the Sierra and northeast California.
* Roadway snow accumulation tends to be difficult this late into
the season, but is still possible in heavier bands of snow and
during the overnight hours. If you have travel plans through
the Sierra, check with CalTrans and/or NDOT for the latest on
road conditions.
* Breezy southwest to west afternoon winds are expected each day
today through the weekend. The greater concern is stronger winds
from any thunderstorms that may develop, particularly across the
west-central Nevada Basin and Range today.
* High temperatures will remain 5-15 degrees below normal through
the weekend, but at this point low temperatures in lower
elevation valleys should remain above freezing. The one time
frame to potentially watch is Saturday night into Sunday morning
when typically colder valleys could fall near the freezing mark,
with a 10% chance of dipping below freezing. Hard freezes are
anticipated for all mountain valleys.
