    My weather app says highs in the upper 30s. I always look at that instead of the lows.

    Out here in the sticks, Canby ferry is closed. Willamette is too high. Pat’s 50 acres has some field flooding. Happens most years though.

    I highly doubt it will snow all week. I’m not old but almost all of the winter storms that I can remember were only a day or two of snow.

    a week would be alright with me though

    Here we are expecting rain. Supposed to warm up a bit. It's so cold when I do predawn early morning walk I pack myself into so many layers getting in and out of them is a major production.

    We had a good one back in 2008 and I remember one that lasted for roughly a week back in maybe 1993?

    2004, my senior year of high school we were off for almost two weeks of school because it snowed a bunch and then freezing rain on top. Took forever to melt.

    I was stuck over at my buddies and we just got baked the whole time.

    Whereas I could get baked without the use of snow and ice.

    We'll be here for the start of it, but now I see the snow might last through the end of next week, in which case, I am glad I'm leaving for sunshine Tuesday AM.

    Apocalyptic rain this morning. Getting groceries was a major production. Took an hour to get to Berkeley. Got home, gave car pat on the dashboard. Not leaving home until Monday and then taking BART.

    That’s what they said and I think it was 2008 I think it was? We ended up with like 15 inches of snow and it snowed all week. So it’s not impossible.
