Beaverton, Oregon was off by about 5 inches. At 1:30 pm today the
prediction of snow had started. Bertha took a picture our Honda van
when the snow started. You could still see the grass in the front
yard.
By the time Jeff got home from work at 9:30 pm, the snow was 6
inches deep and traffic was a mess. With the moonlight reflecting off
the snow there was no need to use a flash to take the other two
pictures. We typically see sudden snow like this a couple times a
year. It all starts with cold air moving east to west down the
Columbia River Gorge and mixing with warmer air coming in from the
Pacific ocean. That mixture causes snow to develop quickly.
Within a day it will be melted and a memory for most of us.
Marcie and Ethan enjoyed playing in the snow this afternoon. Perfect
time to be on Christmas vacation.
