Rob,

That is totally insane! Glad you made it.

Thank you for the picture. A stark reminder of winter dangers to come.

Lookin' good!

Seeing that you operate out of a private strip, I gotta ask, do you allow others to drop in and say hi? 8)

Re: Snow analysis 06-DEC, Oregon

We had about 6 inches here in Sparks early Wednesday.....which I cleared on Thursday. Another 4" drop over night leaves me with chores this morning. My dadgum avatar took a dump in the living room yesterday because she hates the cold. She's still alive but breathing slow....it's supposed to dip to 4 below tomorrow morning.

Nevada was "hammered" with snow! Very interest.

Regarding 8GCBC's screen shot; notice that diagonal stripe across North Texas through Oklahoma and Missouri then across the rust belt. Then take a look at the larger picture on satellite. Those folks are in for a LONG one.

I am an Islander ( not a mainlander ). So I can't comment from empirical knowledge.

But, the contrast in snow covering is startling to me! Wow!

Re: Snow analysis 06-DEC, Oregon

Blue skies all around so far today in my part of Central Oregon. Sun is shining and a balmy 15F. The progs show a week high pressure in the area now and a better one on it's way [-o< ! This has been an effective arctic front to say the least. And it does look like it's building in intensity as it pushes forward?? A good reason to stay inside for me!

Oh man am I jealous! Do you ski other than with the Scout? I have a season pass to Hoodoo and a house 15min away. :)

I can get skis for the Savannah, so hopefully someday!

Re: Snow analysis 06-DEC, Oregon

Hi Chosstronaut,

My goal, to get on old fashion snow skis when in Oregon. Flown over Hoodoo a bunch, but have not had the honor yet. The airplane is taking all my time. Here are some pictures from last winter..
