During the last couple of days, we had a snowpocalypse. We received a minimum of 46" of snow with wind gusts to 50 MPH, in four days. Neighbors helping neighbors, the city doing their best to get a path down all streets to make them accessible, snowmobile clubs helping emergency personnel and assisting the hospital to getting staff to the hospital. Emergency responders working long hours to help and keep us safe. Riding out this storm was quite an experience. For years we will talk about this storm, the goodness of people, the laughs we shared and the relationships that were strengthened. I hope you all had a wonderful Easter. I know that we did, in the midst of a storm.

Even here, on the temperate Oregon coast, we had (for us) extremely cold weather...in the 40s...for the past several days. There was a bit of snow visible from town, just east on the higher hills north of town. This is something I've almost never seen here, even in December or January. A week ago, I did a fish spawning survey where I was cold all day, first time that's ever happened in the 30 years I've been collecting data on the same river. We did see fish spawning, although it was hard due to the hail! Rained or hailed most of the day, so all six miles of the hike were cold and wet. On the way back toward the car, my hands were so cold that I had trouble grasping my stick and the rope we've hung to help us cross the big landslide. Before this cold, I was thinking it was time to go over my big flowerbed a second time, as some tufts of grass and small weeds have found new homes there; I mowed part of the acre I mow because the grass was nearly dry. Shirt sleeve weather, followed by days of cold we're just not used to.

Yikes, that’s a bit of a cruel joke for this time of the year. 😢
We’re having snow today in Central Wisconsin but thankfully, no snowpocalypse! It’s really heartwarming to experience the camaraderie and goodness this storm brought out in your neighbors! We certainly need some of that right now, don’t we?
Fingers crossed for a nice thaw this week. It’s 30 degrees here right now but by Friday, the weatherman said it will be 70 degrees! Ok then! I’ll take that! ❄️😎
