Winter Blast 2014!

If you can believe it, Oregon is looking to shut down once again due to WINTER STORM 2014!  Let the fear set it Oregonians, bundle up your loved ones, put chains on your cars, but for heavens sake don’t drive anywhere, tie a rope to the barn, we may get up to 3 inches of snow!!

It’s already sticking to the hazelnut trees!!

Hazelnut Trees & SnowYes all you Midwest folks I can hear your laughter from here!! 😉 And yes…ok…it did get a little tiny bit worse here over the course of the afternoon yesterday.  And I’m sure those of you who don’t live in the most tropical region of the banana belt like I do, did see some pretty good snow.

I heard from a farmer from one of those “I” states, that he is running out of room and places to push the snow…that’s how piled up they are!  Well I’m off to get the snow plow warmed up!

It’s FOGGY!

No suprise if you live here in the Pacific Northwest, but we have been socked in for the past week or so.  This is about as far as I’ve been able to see the past few days at the farm….

This is our usual view, although minus the snow.  Living here in what you can call the banana belt of Oregon we don’t get to see much snow.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAHappy Monday and everyone drive safe around here, it isn’t easy to see where you’re going when you can only see a few feet in front of you (it really isn’t even safe walking to be honest haha!)
