Awww Monday! February 27, 2023


We have had an amazing snow fest
here in the Pacific Northwest!

The Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington area hasn’t seen this much snow all at once in 80 years. “This is a big deal,” said Tonja Fransen, a meteorologist at the local National Weather Service office. Portland International Airport recorded 10.8 inches Wednesday, beating out the 9.3 inches that fell on a January day in 1956. Since snowfall record-keeping at the airport began in 1939, the greatest snow accumulation over a day was 14.4 inches in 1943.


Needless to say I have been feeding the birds and squirrels plus the occasional rabbit with sunflower seeds and shelled peanuts! We can watch them from our dining room windows - as does Lucy our cat! It's a live nature show for all of us!

    You had all this incredible snow, I hope it helps with water levels if that is a concern your way. We have too warm for normal Feb but since I have not had to shovel the drive in weeks, I don't mind.

    That sure is a bunch of snow. The critters sure do appreciate the food, that they do!

    Crazy amount of snow. While you guys were getting that, our temperatures surged into the eighties. Weird!

    Y'all got a good snow fall for sure! The weather is super crazy. I for one am happy we didn't get anything like this. In fact, it's felt spring like. Maybe, we're out of the woods for really super cold weather. *cross fingers* Have a boogietastic week, my dear!

I love comments and will attempt to reply to each one. However, lately I have been getting "Unknown" comments that are linked to some sort of web page. I will never open this sort of comment and will immediately mark as spam. I am not interested in opening something that could be detrimental to my blog security etc. Never have enjoyed hackers! Thanks!
