Winter 2013/2014 (Bend, Redmond, Green: parking, deal, photographs)

This pineapple express has brought a lot of rain to town over the last few days. A lot for Bend anyway. It's been fun - I miss the rain though....too bad this warm wet front is reeking havoc on the mountain. I skied Monday morning and it was pretty good, but I hear today it's going to rain midday up there

I heard it was raining early AM up there. Sucks but we need the water.

Imagine the snowpack holds most of the rain like a sponge when it is mostly in the 30's at Bachelor?

Looks like cooling and back to snow there in the days ahead, at least mid and upper elevations.

Hopefully the wet pattern continues but is more snow.

I look at 2 elevations close to 6K and 7K. Friday is looking to be the best weather day this week.

Since this is titled Winter 2013/2014 perhaps we can soon put this thread to rest and start Spring 2014. The pros and cons of Daylight Saving Time - discuss among yourselves. I'm getting a little verklempt.

Thursday - Mostly sunny, with a high near 53.

Friday - A slight chance of rain. Mostly sunny, with a high near 47.

Compare to Average Weather for Bend, OR - Temperature and Precipitation one would be correct to say that the forecast is representative of historical averages.
