Winter in Central Oregon requires you to shovel. The average snowfall in our area is two feet. Although, we got a fraction of that in 2017, the year before saw a roof-bowing four feet of the white stuff.
The previous owners of our house left us a snow shovel, which was nice of them, as it has come in handy.
So far this year, we’ve had a half dozen winter storms. One dropped nearly six inches in one day. Currently, there is about four inches on the ground, and this morning we had a couple of new inches added. The forecast fluctuates between rain/snow mix up to a foot of accumulation. It’s been a strange week for weather forecasters in Oregon.
Predictions for this week’s weather… looks like I’ll be using the snow shovel. It’s not as bad as I remember from the Montana winters of my youth.
That said, it is the most shoveling I’ve done in many years. All in all, we are enjoying the snowy winter weather of Central Oregon.
We geared up and people emptied all the shelves in the grocery stores for the big BIG storm………. got absolutely nothing.😳
