You just can’t beat the weather this weekend. Maybe 80 degrees today? The system that brought rain and snow down to our foothills went on to create quite a mess in Wyoming and Colorado. It will track across the U.S. with all kinds of nasty weather.
That snow was melting fast Friday. Unless the Cascades get more this week, rocky crags will show on Mount St. Helens and Mount Hood. Their coat of white isn’t deep.
Did you see the brilliant sunset Friday evening? Repeats of it last night and tonight were expected, possibly as a result of dust from China.
