    Final update, I hope.

    10" -12" of snow
    Temp near zero, and dropping

    For reference, I am at 3,000' elevation, so none of this is near record breaking for us.

    However, this storm is weird. With a mix of strong wind gusts, snow and very cold temps. Any number of problems could develop.

    Time to play with the tractor, and dig out. Good luck.

    Yeah - there are a number of different forecast models with different predictions. I suspect that tonight we will see a number of reporters on the news in various locations around the city showing us film of bare pavement and talking about what the snow might look like when and if it arrives.

    We've been getting snow in Oregon City. Small flakes, not sticking.

    I may just have to heed your advice. We’re big kale folk in my family.

    It’s the holy grail of the leafy greens.

    We bought a brand new house in August and have slacked in getting our garden in order. We’re both big green thumbs though so it’s on the horizon

    To keep the water pipes from freezing. Let water drip/trickle from the faucet.

    BTW, temp outside of my window is now 12 below zero.

    My faucet has had a slow drip/trickle for several years now. Oh wait - never mind, different subject!
