A BLIZZARD WARNING FOR HEAVY SNOW AND STRONG WINDS REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 10 AM THIS MORNING TO 12 PM PST SATURDAY. HEAVY SNOW AND STRONG WINDS WILL DEVELOP IN THE SOUTH WASHINGTON AND NORTH AND CENTRAL OREGON CASCADES THIS AFTERNOON AND CONTINUE THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING. STORM TOTAL SNOW AMOUNTS THROUGH SATURDAY COULD REACH 2 TO 4 FEET...WITH WINDS THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING FREQUENTLY GUSTING TO 35 MPH OR HIGHER IN MUCH OF THE CASCADES...AND TO 75 MPH AT THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS. A BLIZZARD WARNING MEANS SEVERE WINTER WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED OR OCCURRING. FALLING AND BLOWING SNOW WITH STRONG WINDS AND POOR VISIBILITIES ARE LIKELY. THIS WILL LEAD TO WHITEOUT CONDITIONS...MAKING TRAVEL EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. DO NOT TRAVEL. IF YOU MUST TRAVEL...HAVE A WINTER SURVIVAL KIT WITH YOU.

Break out the pogey's, it's going to be cold. Estuary expression sessions look good for high tide Fri/Sat early morning/late afternoon. Crazy how everyone is hoping for snow when there is so much summer left it starting to pick up now, a strong forecast for wind waves and temps        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page Previous  1, 2 Page 2 of 2   Jump to: Select a forum Northwest Kiteboarding Discussion Forum----------------Gorge / Portland / Oregon CoastFor SaleLost & FoundIndustry SoapboxCGKA  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum You can attach files in this forum You can download files in this forum
