Wes, Much of the same on the west side of the State. I'm in St. Helens Or. and it's not looking good. We have had so many dry days that when we do get rain the Steelhead are running strait to the hatchery. The sun is out again today, but this is Oregon and it can change in 5 minutes. It's 8:40 in the a.m. and it's 39 degrease I imagine we'll get close to 50 today. Haven't seen a lick of snow here this year, we usually get a couple light dustings and usually at least one that drops about 6". Now for those of you wondering, no I don't live by the Mountain, it's a good 2 hour drive and it's in Wa. You'd be surprised how many people even in Oregon ask that question when I tell them I live in St. Helens.
