I experienced my first snow in Oregon. It snowed all day yesterday. As the temperature is not going to get above freezing for a few days, I’ll get to enjoy it for a bit.
I’m a Southern girl. This is a big deal.
I decided to walk into town to explore — something I haven’t yet done, despite having lived here for nearly six months.
The key to being comfortable in any weather is the right gear.
I have a new Columbia Sportswear waterproof jacket with the baked-potato lining and Sorel boots (bougie, I know).
My sweatshirt has a pouch for a beer. As I’m doing Dry January, this pouch served as the perfect carrier for Stumptown cold brew instead.
I was almost too warm on my journey.
Here are some scenes from my walk:
No snow plows/gritters in this place.When I first moved here, the trains that use these tracks seemed SO LOUD to me. Now they are just part of the fabric of my life.It’s like “It’s a Wonderful Life” out here.I love signs and murals on the sides of buildings. Don’t worry: This pooch wasn’t out there for long. About half of the places were closed because of the weather or permanently because of sheer small-town economics. This is exactly what I would expect from a gift shop in Oregon: crystals and coffee accessories. … and Sasquatch-related things. Sometimes it’s nice to really notice what is around you.Home Sweet HomeCat Weird Cat
Looking forward to experiencing all the seasons here.
