Less Rain and Mild Winters Now (Portland: credit, transfer, tax)

[Hawk J]

Medford has more snow then we do (unusual), in the mountains at about 2000'. We only have a dusting.

[Steve Pickering]

We have more than a dusting. I am 75' ASL and have a full two inches packed, and still snowing.

[FVWinters]

Corvallis:
One inch here and it's melting fast. Temperatures are 33 at my house but the ground is still warm.
We've been due for a real-deal, ol' fashioned mid 1800's winter since....well, since the mid 1800's. The Climate Prediction Center believes we'll hit the jackpot this year. It won't be long before we will find out if those folks are right.....

[Larry Caldwell]

Snowing all day in Roseburg, but not sticking. Forecast colder tonight.

7 a.m. in Baker City. Sun starting to shine on the Elkhorn Mountains. 8 below (11 below is the record) with a fresh dusting of snow.

[Steve Pickering]

After eight straight days of rain and one of heavy snowfall (for the south coast), it is just gray and cold today, but without rain.

Today is a lot warmer than yesterday ... by December it should be hot.

Right now its pouring buckets of rain, temperatures are 15 degrees below seasonal norms. There's snow lining the roads on Hwy. 199 going into California.

Oregon was in a warm cycle of the PDO from 1978 to 2006. We went back into the cold cycle four years ago and will continue to have colder, wetter weather than average for the next 25-35 years.

Now you're trying to confuse everyone. Kidding

Is there a major change taking place with the weather? I guess we'll find out soon.

How quickly folks can forget...

Did you forget the winter of 2003-04 or 2007-08?

I am out and about all over Oregon visiting clients, and I can't ever remember more snow than 2008; record winter for snow fall on Mt. Hood.

Yet it was the snow I found on a hike up Kings Mtn. in the northern Coast Range I was astounded by in 2008; early July and spots of snow at 3500'!

Lots of snow and colder temperatures all over the world. If you read what real scientists and real data indicate, you will find the non-political truth that the earth is entering a period of sustained cooling.

I also travel to central Mexico often for work and family, and have seen snow in Guadalajara, and on Picacho just west of the city of Aguascalientes.

Snow and more frigid cold everywhere

tes.

Bull**** There is no nice way I can say that. What parts of the Earth? What statistics are we talking about? Who are these "real scientists"? Show me their peer-reviewed publications (which means that other scientists have had a chance to critique it). What facts hold up to the review?

Real scientists don't publish opinion as fact. If there is some truth to what you're saying, it may be a small set of statistics, selectively chosen. But prove me wrong. Tell me what these "real scientists" say.
