Snow? This in from a friend who lives in the Cascade foothills, about 40 miles east, and 1,000 feet above me near HWY 20, which is a mile from my home at mp 11.

"yes we have a **** load of snow around 3ft give or take 6inches depending where you measure on the place .i think i am here till spring.Kevin has been pushing snow with his truck for the last 3 weeks . he keep the driveway plowed out with our 20yr old 4 wheeler at first. now i think it will take his 4 wheel drive studded snow tires and chains and prayers
] i guess ODOT just closed the big steel gate at the mt. house. a few years ago they put up a big gate that they can just close when ever they want to stop all traffic. but i guess there is a big snow slide between 70mp and 83. the old mill turn was about mp43 i think mt house is about 10 miles east . this snow is just beautiful as i sit in the warm house i might have a different view if i had to work in it. or travel to work like Kevin ever day of the world.
anyway we are fine
hope you are all fine also"

She is parapalegic, yet she and her hubby choose to live "off the grid" in a remote area. (edit) Here's a road cam link to the Santiam Pass...people here in the valley cannot reach Hoodoo ski bowl. Too much snow!

No drought in Eastern Oregon next summer...
