Default Winter on Heartbreak Ridge!

Where I am staying is on the ridge of the Tualatin Mountains running just west of downtown Portland. The locals just call them the West Hills. The old money lives in the hills. Where I am is at the summit of a pass, and on the slopes of Mt. Sylvania, near the top of which sits Portland Community College. The climate is markedly colder up there than in Portland itself.. The cold east wind out of the Columbia River Gorge hits with full force. The ice we got a couple weeks ago lasted on the ground up there almost a week! But there is a beautiful view of Mt. Hood.

Now the weather is turning colder again and talk of snow is back in the forecasts. Only 44F here in Tigard today, and expected low tonight of 29F! Tigard is down in the valley just to the west. I hear the sound of ice pellets coming down now!

Don't forget, No. 2 Ducks vs. Beavers tonight at 5:00 PST on ABC!

AA It rained here WOW. Must of had 1/3 inch. Still in the mid 70s Its perfect weather for sleeping. You must have my email so write to me. I'm not telling anything here any more about M&M. The hate mongers are very jealous and would like to see bad things happening to me. I might get so busy after Christmas I won't have time to post. Its was fun. Time I moved on. TreBert
