Not a drop of rain so far and looking at the radar doesn't look promising here. I hope somebody is getting some rain.
We both woke last night and noticed the deck was white. We were excited it was snowing as we dropped back to sleep. Nothing on the deck this morning. Closer night time inspection would have shown it was moonlight and not snow. Yes, where's the storm?craig333 said:Not a drop of rain so far and looking at the radar doesn't look promising here.

I didn't actually experience that temperature myself -- I was driving home from my long, long trip. But when I got home tonight, that's what they said on the local TV weather -- close to a record but not quite.ski3pin said:That warm in Bend? Wow, that is hot! 73 here today and we're thinking quite warm. All the windows open tonight.
I bet P-pine pollen could be an important part of a vegan diet.ski3pin said:The ponderosa pine are dropping pollen a month ahead of normal here. Anyone need bags full of yellow silt?
This time of year it's a topping on all our meals without even trying.MarkBC said:I bet P-pine pollen could be an important part of a vegan diet.
Around here we start with the "grainy" white fir pollen. This stuff can irritate the eyes. We've now switched over to the silt like ponderosa pollen. In normal years we yearn for huge thunderstorms to knock it out of the trees and wash it away. Not anymore with the extreme dry conditions. We'll put up with the fine yellow powder everywhere. Further up country in a couple months the Lodgepole will be popping.MarkBC said:I haven't noticed any of the yellow residue around here yet.
It's juniper (Juniperus occidentalis) pollen that I find annoying. I'm not allergic to it, but the spiky balls of pollen still poke and irritate my eyes when it's heavy.
