We actually had a 72 degree day and two days later, snow...not just in the mountains but in the populated valley of Oregon. For Portland, it was the first measurable April snow in 82 years. We were delayed in returning to NE Oregon because of the traffic snarl in Portland. The interstate was also closed because of truck slide-offs, but it cleared beautifully a day later. The mountains can always use more snow, it seems. We're ready for spring in the valleys, however.
A surprise snow "squall" is a temporary worry for travelers, but it was short.
Pendleton, Oregon is in the middle of thousands of acres of wheat located on the east foot of the Blue Mountains.

3-4 inches of heavy wet snow here Sunday night into Monday morning. Major power failure-- no light, heat, water. Took about 12 hours for the electricity, but I expected it to be longer since we're a bit off the beaten track. Snow in April? Impossible. Back to normal now. Nice pictures, by the way.
