It's been colder than normal, but nothing like what Chuck and Ray are getting. It's supposed to get to the mid 30s today. The weatherman had three computer models this morning. None or the 3 had snow where I have to worry about it. I noticed it didn't stop him from saying potential storm, though. I'll just have to wait like always

Old saying,be careful what you wish for. It might come true.
Sun,we had sun all day. First time all day sun for quite a while.But it's cold. I had 9°,now it's 22,which is not bad. Might get down to 6° tonight.but the March sun will warm it back up.
I was out getting some dead pine for the Big Freeze tonight. :D 
Back in 2012 the high was 77°. Guess I forgot about that year. I do remember one year it got warm like that. Than we had a freeze.  :o  That was shock to the fruit trees. :(

Just barely 20 here, did drop to 3F this morning. Was sun most of the day, but clouding up again here.

Yes 2012 was a warm week in March, the aspen were flowering.

Been in the single digits to low teens every night, and the forecast shows more of the same for the next week. Sun has some heat and it thaws the dark surfaces out for a little bit in the afternoon but as soon as the sun goes down things freeze right back up.

Saw my first chipmunk of the season this morning. It was running through a light dusting of freshly fallen snow. Spring is indeed coming.

Went over to the west side of the Cascades to Medford, and saw fruit trees in bloom today, not here though. Not even any buds yet. Supposed to get snow Wednesday through Saturday.

Snow starting late tonight or early tomorrow with temperatures in the high 20s. One person told me they heard just a couple inches. I think that was wishful thinking. I heard one forecast for 5 to 10 inches, and two forecasts for 6 to 12. The station that said 5 to 10 also said the storm can shift some and we could get substantially more

4° this morning and upper 20s now. Not much melting going on so far.....

Snow should be starting in a couple hours. Predictions from different stations still all over the place. Apparently there's alot of dry air already in place so nobody wants to commit to how long it will take the snow to really get started

I don't want to say much. I don't want to jinx myself. I don't think we will get much.
Saw the news and looks like others will get way more than me.

The storm ended up not doing much. There was just too much dry air to get past. It must have been about 7 pm when it finally really started snowing. It ended between midnight and 1:00. It's supposed to get into the mid 40s today, so I think most of what we did get will be melted

We had 16° at 6:00AM and it's supposed to reach 38° by 3:00PM, so it looks like it'll be a nice day here!

It started snowing again after I wrote it stopped this morning, but I don't guess either at work or home got any more than 2 or 3 inches. Whatever the total was, it's all melted now. There's a little wind now, but not enough to worry about any power outages

36F this afternoon with partial sun, we missed that storm on the coast. The snow is a melting. :)
