By now you've probably seen some news media hyping things up that another massive weather event is in store for us next week with catastrophic rainfall/flooding, devastating winds, downed trees, and power outages. Breathe! Look, it rains here in Oregon. Sometimes A LOT. Sometimes A LOT within a SHORT PERIOD. Sometimes we get windy storms […]
At least one-hundred people reached out to me just before and during the Ice Storm, asking if this page and the Facebook Cottage Grove Weather and Emergency Preparedness group could go active and if I can post. As you know, I moved to the coast (just over an hour's drive), which is why I deactivated […]
Tuesday Dec 5: *Please see the last paragraph regarding this being the final post in this group* As of 4:00pm today, the area has seen between 3.50 and 5.50" of rainfall, depending on which weather station you look at. When November closed out, we were running about 5" behind of rainfall. Yes, we've "made" it […]
Weather Alert (Friday afternoon): Lots of rain heading towards us - by the end of the day on Monday it's looking like 3-4" will have fallen.

I'm thankful for all of you! I'm thankful that you each have a purpose in this world! COLD: Remember that pets are unable to maintain their body warmth in these cold temps, so a nice warm spot inside is best. Much below normal temps through early next week, then gradual warming. Rain as early as […]

Periods of rain and showers through Tuesday with an isolated thunderstorm possible. Winds can gust to around 25 mph at times. Total rainfall 3/4"-1.25", most of this occurring later this evening through Monday (doesn't it feel […]
