I agree. Not the best to practice outdoors when it looks like this.

Since it snowed some more in the wee hours of this morning, I think that ties a weather record from 3/10/1951 as the latest snow fall for the Willamette valley. The record could be broken tonight, actually tomorrow early morning. Its not much snow by any standards, its just the principle of the thing. You shouldn't have to even consider snow during spring track season here.

Only one shoe?!? We have a small pond next to our runway because the drainage is so bad, so getting the poles causes both feet to end up wet daily.

I got out for a little bit of jumping this afternoon. It was cold but I didn't get rained or snowed on. I saw the weather moving in and got all my stuff put away and my rain gear on while I worked with the kids on their jumping. It hailed for about 5 minutes while they were jumping but I was comfy in my gear. ;)

It's dry and cool in the building down here in Oregon City. All the gymnastics equipment is operational so if you ever want to come give it a try we are open most Saturdays.....

In the past 34 days, it has been raining for 23 of them!

We keep reminding ourselves that we live in CA and not WA ;)
