Portland Weather

[liveonearth]

It got down to 47 last night, currently 59 at 10:21am. Road surface has puddles and dry spots, hasn't precipitated since I got up. Sky is gray, mostly flat surface, a few thinner spots, hardly moving. No wind. It's 70 inside my office and I haven't turned on the heat today. Deeper inside the apartment it's in the 80's. I turned off the fire.

4:39pm. Just one puffy cloud visible from my desk seat. If I get up I can see piles of cumulus out over the Cascade mountains, but here it is clear. The road is mostly dry with only small remnants of puddles in the gutters. The temperature is 52. I walked to the grocery store and back with a large pack on, picked up a giant sack of cat food. I tried twice to take the bus to Trader Joes and missed the bus both times, because they were running early. So I rode my bike to TJ's for supplies. It was more fun than the bus anyway.

It has been grey and snowy here. This is the most "winter-like" winter I've seen here in years. We cleared another 8-9 inches of snow from the driveway and paths yesterday.

Yeah you guys are dealing with the melty icy slushy aftermath....ick. Hope you get some fresh snow on top so you can go skiing again!

That was fresh snow that I cleared! I skied at the nordic center on Monday, it's still nice out there. They've got about 3 feet of snow on the trails... I think we'll be skiing until March. The fresh stuff is always nicest, though. :-)

You got me jealous. Ach I wish for fresh skiing out my back door......I was just thinking about the Dell today while out on my walk. I'm glad you're getting out in the snow.
