Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What is “Yellow Snow “? (No it’s not that!) Here is the correct answer. Yellow Snow: Snow given a golden or yellow appearance by the presence in it of pine, cypress pollen, or anthropogenic material or animal-produced material.
The Jet Stream is sending an Atmospheric River full of moisture from over the Pacific Ocean right into the Pacific Northwest. The graphics for days 1-3 show a frontal system moving through Oregon today. The graphics for days 3-7 Tuesday through Saturday show the parade of frontal activity continuing Wednesday through Friday.

Here is my weekly weather quiz question. What is “Yellow Snow “? (No it’s not that!)
The Jet Stream is sending an Atmospheric River full of moisture from over the Pacific Ocean right into the Pacific Northwest. The graphics for days 1-3 show a frontal system moving through Oregon Friday night and Saturday. The graphics for days 3-7 Sunday through Thursday show the parade of frontal activity continuing Sunday and Thursday.
Note: Ski Report: Willamette Pass, Hoodoo, and Mt. Ashland are all open for the ski season. Check their Web sites for specific mountain conditions and hours of operation.
