It’s time for another of my weekly weather quiz questions. Here is the question. What is needed in the stratosphere, but is considered a dangerous pollutant in the lower atmosphere near the earth’s surface? Please remember to post your answer as a comment by clicking on “no comments /comments” in the upper right hand portion of this page under the caption, then add your comment. The first person to post the correct answer will win a week of free personalized weather forecasts tailored to your needs. The answer has to be a comment to win. An email answer will not count. Good luck.

The jet stream has positioned itself to send a strong fetch of moisture to the Pacific Northwest. This frontal system will spread even more rain over Oregon and another frontal system will move in to start off the New Year with even more rain. Mt Ashland has reopened for the season. Hoodoo is closed for December 29-30, but will be open now Saturday December 31st and Sunday January 1st. Still not enough snow yet for Willamette Pass to open for skiing. Please check their web sites for details and updates.
