I live in the high desert of Central Oregon, at about 3500'. I'm east of the Cascade Range, which constitutes one of the most dramatic rain shadows in the world, and divides Oregon into a "wet side" (west of the Cascades), and a "dry side" over here to the east of the mountains. It's typically very dry here, with annual rainfall of less than 12", and annual snowfall of about 24" total...typically in a number of snowfalls of a few inches through the winter. I've lived here since 2007. I know that all you real snow country dwellers will find this to be totally underwhelming, but in early February of this year we had the biggest single snowfall I've yet seen here...about 26" or so. I know, y-a-w-n. I saw much more snow every year during the 12 years I lived in Northern Virginia. But for here, it was a somewhat memorable event. Rick
