i got to say it is snowing. total accumulation for today is 7 inches for a grand total of 12 inches for the week. snow events are rare in the willamette valley. just as often as the atl. i grew up in the atl.
i thought i would brag a bit though you probably don't care.
snow is relatively easy to access when it is raining in the valley with the cascade range being 80 miles from my home. they had over 800 inches of snow last year. skiing is close by.
