Snow covered Hood River, OR, 12/21/08

Fifth Day of Snow Blankets Hood River

It's the fifth day of snow sticking and below freezing temperatures in Hood River, Oregon. The city is blanketed with light, fluffy snow... the kind you can move with a shovel or a broom. Icicles are forming, but that is no indication of warm air- It's around 20 degrees at 1 pm today. I am grateful for hard working City workers keeping the roads passable for in-town driving and kind neighbors with snow blowers keeping my sidewalks clear. The other blessing is only a light east wind, which is normal for here because of the local hills and orientation of the Columbia River. PS- See iwindsurf.com for wind reports in The Gorge. Happy Holidays to Everyone!
