Friday: Happy St. Patrick's Day! Enjoy the balmy temperatures today and Saturday (we hit 63° yesterday) because Sunday through next week is going to turn much colder with showers at times. Check out the predicted 10-day temperature chart below. Expect about 1/4" of rainfall on Sunday and about another 1/4" or so on Monday. As […]
It's much colder today! Showers are winding down (as of 5:30pm, we've recorded just over an inch of rain today in Cottage Grove). Snow levels have lowered at times this afternoon to 800-1200' due to the cold air moving in. Although the main rain band is now east/southeast of us, scattered showers will continue across […]
Time changes need to stop, who's with me? I've already drank a bucket of coffee! WEBCAMS: Just wanted to let you know that the webcams and equipment for livestreaming arrived last week. I'm working out installation issues and expect Cottage Grove's first live webcams to be up and running by the end of the month! Rain […]
The sun's out today (Saturday) but clouds will quickly increase this afternoon with rain developing sometime between 11pm and 3am. Periods of rain/showers can be expected Sunday through Tuesday with scattered showers Wednesday. Total rainfall tonight through Wednesday 1-1.50", most of which occurs on Monday. Breezy at times with gusts below 25 mph. Snow levels above […]
We're behind by over 10"! We've recorded 20.25" of precipitation since the start of the water year on Oct 1, normal to date is 31.24". 78% of Oregon is in a drought. The good news is that snowpack across all of Oregon is over 100% of average (our region's at 111%). Five to six storm […]
Tuesday 3:45pm Update: Tomorrow morning (Wednesday) looks to be the last chance this week for a light dusting of snow here in Cottage Grove. The chance is small, but a chance nonetheless. A friend who apparently has nothing better to so sent me the below picture of the "stool bus." Thought I'd share it to […]
Snow showers this morning (Sunday) will change over to rain or a rain/snow mix at times once the temperature warms by around 9am or 10am. Not expecting more than an inch or two. Another chance of a dusting or so is possible tonight / Monday morning. Can't rule out late night/early morning dustings through Wednesday […]
11:30am Friday: As what's been the case with the past two snow events, a main cold low pressure system will sit off the Oregon coast and spin waves of energy through the region. All ingredients need to come together just right for snow to fall in Cottage Grove, so we may end up with nothing. […]
11:00am Monday: See for yourself: In the two satellite images below, look for the counter-clockwise rotation of the low pressure centers just off the Oregon coast around the WA/OR border. The image that is more crisp and clear is the current low pressure system. The one that's smeary white is last week's system. Note that […]
