Happy Equinox. 9/22

Good morning! I’ve decided the sponsor of the week is Sign Art Signs. Dayna, the master sign maker, doesn’t know that he’s the sponsor. I just want him to be the sponsor because I believe in his talent. His work is creative, eye-catching, comes with a guarantee, and lasts nearly forever. Plus, he has a…

Meet your forecaster: Temira

For almost 30 years, Temira (they/them) has been making the most of the Gorge: riding river swell, shredding powder, and cycling all the gravel and pavement and trails. This is Temira’s playground, their gym… their life’s work.

This passion led Temira to take a vow: In 2006, Temira decided to provide the most accurate, hyper-local weather forecasts possible. Today, Temira’s forecasts have become an essential resource for thousands of skiers, snowboarders, wind sports enthusiasts and Gorge commuters. With Temira’s guidance, you can plan ahead, time your sessions perfectly, and just plain have more fun! But the story doesn’t end there.

There’s “Temira’s Awesome Travel Advisory Service” and “Valuable Advice for Gardeners Inhabiting Neighboring Areas” – the Gorge’s premier microclimate forecast and gardening information. When winter storms, extreme heat, hail, or avalanches on SR-14 and I-84 threaten, TATAS keeps everyone and their tomatoes and giant pumpkins and cash crops safe.

Temira’s relentless efforts keep the forecasts flowing. But it ain’t easy: each forecast takes a couple of hours. That’s where you come in. By contributing, you’re not just supporting Temira’s passion project – you’re investing in the safety and well-being of the entire Gorge community. Your financial support ensures these essential forecasts remain accessible to all, free of charge.

So please take a moment to click one of the buttons below. Donate $19.99 or more (how much does this forecast enhance your life?) and get the email in your inbox. Or just contribute enough for a cup or pound of coffee. I need coffee! Every contribution, no matter the amount, makes a difference. Help me keep this labor of love alive, so we can all commute safely, play in the river, and shred Mt. Hood with the best weather forecasts possible. Thank you!

Good morning!

I’ve decided the sponsor of the week is Sign Art Signs. Dayna, the master sign maker, doesn’t know that he’s the sponsor. I just want him to be the sponsor because I believe in his talent. His work is creative, eye-catching, comes with a guarantee, and lasts nearly forever. Plus, he has a great sense of humor; just ask Dave Brown! You can take a look at some of his work here. For all your signage needs, call or email Dayna. Trust me… he’s doing a sign for me right now.

If you like windsurfing and kiting, you might want to consider taking up standup paddling or wakeboarding or fishing for a day or two, as high pressure over the Northwest will keep the windspeeds down. Today looks very light, and tomorrow morning does too. At best, we’ll see upper teen westerlies from Hood River eastward tomorrow afternoon.

Really the best thing to be doing right now is mountain biking or dirt biking. The dirt is in perfect shape for mountain biking, and the Hood River County trails are open for dirt biking now.

If you need something to do tonight, the Soroptomist club of Hood River presents Wine, Women and Wow at the Gorge Room at the Hood River Inn. All women in business are welcome to attend this free networking event. I know it’s not really recreation related, but it’s still a great event!

Also this evening is the unofficial Kayak Shed shop paddle, meeting at Husum at a new and improved time. Be there at 5pm for a run down the lower or the middle, assuming your fearless leaders Tim and Scott are back from looking for lost mushroom hunters. As of last night, the White Salmon was still just above 2 feet, so the shop paddle should be great today!

Finally, don’t forget that tomorrow is the last Post and Pint ride of the season, meeting at Dirty Fingers at 5pm and finishing up with a BBQ at the shop.

Boaters, the White Salmon was at a surprising and very fun 2.2 feet last night and the Klickitat’s back down around 850 cfs. The Hood made it up to 3.8 feet – we were all on the edges of our seats – before dropping again.

Have a great day today!
