BUT, the real fun may be yet to come: <http://www.bend.com/news/ar_view%5E3Far_id%5E3D13050.htm>
The flood in 1964 that they talk about was the worst in Oregon recorded history. The lower Rogue River and the North Umpqua River from about the town of Glide on down crested at 100 FEET above flood stage. The rains melted 10' of snow almost overnight. If you are ever in the town of Glide (home to Umpqua Feather Merchants and Spirit River flyfishing products), stop at the river overlook on the west end of town. Standing watching the confluence of the two rivers, you would have been underwater in the 1964 flood. That might not sound like much in print, but when you view the scene, the thought is utterly unbelievable.

27 degrees in Woodway, TX at 10:05 CST. Wind chill is 12 degrees. Ahhh,
Texas wind! Just think, it was 77 on Sat, 75 on Sunday and the forecast
is to be back in the 60's by the end of this week. But, that's Texas
weather. If you don't like it, wait a day or two and it'll change.
I've seen it go from a 93 degrees on a February day all the way down to
the 20's the very next day.
Oh well, maybe it'll stay cold enough for a few days and kill the bugs. My grass was green through yesterday, don't know what this blue norther will do to it.
