I note a counter-intuitive “warm” area in the Willamette Valley down to near Salem. “Counter” because ice storms and Gorge outflow make the news but the average is somewhat better than the surrounding, higher terrain. Here’s another anomaly: I refer to two USDA, Snow/Water Equivalent maps, one for the NW, the other National & regional, that create slightly different impressions. Same data, so how is that possible, and which is most accurate? John McBridehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09503331313775640577noreply@blogger.com
