Portland Snow

Virginia in SnowComing from California to Portland this year we were really looking forward to some snow this winter. Boy did Portland ever deliver for us. Not only did we get some snow but from what I understand it never snows this early. I hope that means we may get some more as we get deeper into winter. We are so appreciating getting some actual seasons here. Summer was warm and dry, fall was fantastic with color and winter is actually wintery. I think it’s easier to enjoy summer when you’ve been through a cold and wet winter. In California it’s hard to appreciate anything because it’s warm and dry all the time. It’s monotonous. So thank you Portland for some actual winter. That was fun.

Fall In Portland

Portland FallI have noticed a lot of differences from Southern California since moving here, but one of the nicest is fall. The temperatures have fallen nicely and the fall color is dazzling. Compared to Southern California where the temperatures never seem to change, I am loving the chill. The changing of the leaves is yet another thing we just don’t get in California much, at least not like I’m experiencing in Portland.

You might think it would be so great to be warm and sunny all the time with little to no rain. Trust me, it’s monotonous. Oh, I know people who do love it and wouldn’t leave California to save their lives, but I have always enjoyed feeling the change in seasons.

People like to give Portland a hard time for the weather. I don’t see the problem.

Portland Heat

I expected many things living in Portland, but a heat wave was not one of them. We’ve only been here two weeks and the we are experiencing 93 degree weather! The house we bought, it doesn’t have air conditioning which is something I thought was great. How much will we save not having to run air conditioning all the time like in Southern California? How fast will we melt in these crazy temperatures? Are you kidding me? Please tell me this kind of thing doesn’t happen often or last long.
