It's a brisk 10°F here in Bend at 8 a.m. 
...
...and I don't mind that we don't come close to the recent Midwest polar temperatures.

You beat us Mark-it's only 11 here in Susanville ! Tahoe is a -3 or so, clear and cold here once the fog burns off and no pokanip. Boy this is when I am glad I'm retired and don't have to get up at 5.00 or so, go outside, warm the truck up, slide down my hill and be at work by 0600. Now I just sit here, drink my coffee and look outside!

The indication is that we'll be having at least another 10 days of winter here on the east side of the Oregon Cascades.

The Lady & Barking Spider received an in depth Massey Ferguson tractor & blower operation lesson yesterday afternoon. We woke to the start of the latest storm with 5 inches. The Lady ran the tractor and blower and did great! A bit more practice and she'll be be excellent!

I got up to 5 inches at my house overnight...with more forecast on the way in days to come.
And me without a snowblower -- only a shovel...
...and barefoot!

Series of storms set to bombard Central Oregon
Snow a possibility every day next week, according to forecast

"The first few snowflakes that fell in Bend on Friday are the start of a series of storms expected to linger in Central Oregon for up to two weeks...."
"Rob Brooks, forecaster with that National Weather Service’s Pendleton office:
'That’s what we get when we cram all of winter into two weeks in February,'..."

Gotter dun! --> in a couple of hours this afternoon
It was only about 5 inches deep...but that much more is forecast to fall by tomorrow with a little more almost every day for up to 2 weeks!... so I didn't want to get behind; my driveway is >100 feet long, and my tools are primitive.
My shovel is one that's suitable for pushing snow -- snowplow-like, and the snow was cold/light enough (and little enough) that that was possible. Saved my back a little.

No...not bare feet -- I eventually got dressed. I wore some snow-boots that only get out for use with snowshoes and for stuff like this. Not as warm as Sorel/pac-boots but more nimble.

Quite the storm in Mammoth last night / this morning. 395 was a complete white out and was shut down north of Bishop somewhere around 7pm. Fun drive from town to down near the airport last night!
