In New England we say ‘If you don’t like the weather, wait a minute and it will change’. We can have days where the temperature can swing as much as 40 or even 50 degrees. Oregon doesn’t have that extreme a swing in temperature during a single day, but they do have little changes in temperature that can change the constant precipitation from one form to another.
The last 2 days, the temperature here in the valley has been just warm enough for the precipitation to be in the form of rain, lots of rain. (Make sure you turn the sound up so you can hear Darrin on this little video.)

Tidbit: The weather in Oregon swings wildly from season to season. The winters are cool and wet, and the summers are quite hot and dry (a perfect combo for their recent wildfires).
Here in Texas our weather can also change very quickly. This week we had temps in the 20s, then temps in the upper 70 the next day. This morning we had a VERY strong but very brief “severe” storm. There were two men out on the lake behind our house standing up fishing the whole time. The wind was so strong that it blew the chairs AND the table off the back porch. The waves were as high as the sides of their boat but they just kept on fishing. It was over soon.
We haven’t heard from you since Feb. 27. Everything ok?
Hi Linda and Tom, Sorry, we fell off the radar, again. All is good. Fisherman are crazy people! All good down there?
