Snow There, Not Here
The weather ’round these parts went kind of wacky. The Portland area saw a fair bit of snow, but at my house here in Stayton we saw a couple minutes of light flakes and then we were through. That’s boring, though, so today I’m posting a photo my brother took with his cell/mobile phone in McMinnville, which is about 45 miles northwest of Stayton.
Yes, that is the top of a mail box in the foreground. My brother’s a mail carrier, so that’s the view he had when I asked him to send the photo. But, hey, snow!

This Craptacular Photo Is Being Posted For No Other Reason Than To Commemorate It Snowing In Late March

Seriously, what’s up with that? It wasn’t supposed to snow yesterday… some hail, maybe, but not snow. But it kept up a good rain/snow mix for several hours, and it was just plain snow part of the time. Maybe Mother Nature is making up for the lack of snow during the winter. This is the More >

The snow is all but gone now (it’s been replaced by a lot of rain), but I still can’t get out and take photos. So here’s another snow shot. Yay. If anyone out there has Stayton area photos you would like to share, please send them along (site [at] specialweb.com or celine.chamberlin [at] gmail.com). I’d More >

The snow is mostly melted at my house, but that doesn’t mean I can’t post at least one more snow photo. I still haven’t been able to go out and take pictures (it’s been two weeks since I’ve gone anywhere outside of my neighborhood to shoot)… I hope I can rectify that this weekend or More >

I discovered a late last night my blog hadn’t updated since the 23rd, so my Christmas Eve and Christmas day posts didn’t get posted like they should have been. Which is a bit of a bummer. I apologize… Blogger’s update thing must have been wacky. They’re up now. In other news, we had a wee More >
Merry Christmas Eve!

Merry Christmas Eve to all who celebrate the day, and to everyone in general — I hope you have a happy day. I don’t normally post photos of my pets on this blog — I kind of have a rule against it, actually — but desperate times call for desperate measures. I still can’t go More >

So. It snowed again. And this wasn’t the pretty snow of the other day. This snow was all over the place, and it was icy, and it was incredibly annoying. I went out for only a few minutes to take photos yesterday. I’m still stuck at home, since my scooter can’t go in snow. I More >

More snow photos from Friday (see yesterday’s post for more). The photo above is of some snow-covered Douglas-Fir trees, and the photo at right is a couple of plastic sleds some neighbor kids were using. We may have more snow today… or we may not. Stayton hasn’t been getting hit as hard as some places More >
Winter Road

We had a few inches of snow yesterday, which meant there were various children outside, squealing and sledding and all that good stuff. The photo above is Fern Ridge Rd., which I can testify was rather slippery. Cars seemed to be handling it okay, but it was tough to walk on. The photo at right More >
Snow Day

We had snow…ish weather again yesterday. It wasn’t full on snow, but more like snow pellets, I guess. Either way, it made things white. On a side note, thanks to the cool folks at Stayton Cooperative Telephone Company and Willamette Valley Internet for quickly finding out the cause of my phone and internet connection being More >

It snowed yesterday. We didn’t get very much at my house… not sure about the rest of town. My opportunities to take photos were very limited (a sick dog and slick roads meant I had to stay home). Nearby Salem and Portland got a lot more snow than we did. Today’s weather is going to More >
