snow, snow, snow forecast 11/6

Good morning! There’s only one thing to say right now, and that’s wax your skis and get ready to ride! With 2-3 feet of snow headed our way between now and Sunday, and winter weather all next week, I think there’s a pretty good chance (not as an employee, just as a human), that Meadows…

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!

There’s only one thing to say right now, and that’s wax your skis and get ready to ride! With 2-3 feet of snow headed our way between now and Sunday, and winter weather all next week, I think there’s a pretty good chance (not as an employee, just as a human), that Meadows will open next week. Not to start rumors or anything, but I see piles of snow this weekend. Now, that’s sticking my neck out there….

Anyway, to get your stoke on, take a look at the snow piling up: http://www.skihood.com/The-Mountain/Conditions

If you’d like to go skinning and skiing with me on Sunday, please drop me a note.

For one last session on the water, break out the big sail or kite today and tomorrow, with 17-20 (gusty, wet, cold, and inconsistent) east of The Dalles.

Coming up this evening is a pre ski season showing of Every Day’s a Saturday in Govy. With all the snow falling, this is going to be a super-stoke ski movie. If you head over, do throw your chains in the car, or get your snow tires put on!

Have an awesome day today!
