Today was a payoff for the damp weather that we had last week. I think the high today was around 85 with very few clouds. In my opinion it only gets better through the next two months. Late summer and early fall are by far my favorite time in Oregon in terms of weather. I’m not ready to let go of the warm temperatures yet, however the idea of cool mornings and college football are starting to creep into my mind. Speaking of back to school; best wishes to my niece who had her first day of Kindergarten today. I have no doubt she will do great.  I took this from the top of the hill we live on, the view is from the West Hills looking over Hillsboro and Beaverton at the Coastal Range.

Well, the flakes have been counted and the grand total accumulation here in the West Hills is… 3 inches. Its tough to tell though because its a dry snow (very odd for this area) and drifting up to 2 feet while other areas are bare. It’s being dubbed “Snow Blast 08″ and its not going any where for a couple of days with the cold temperatures. In fact, it sounds like we might get more on Wednesday!
