Crazy Week, Crazy Weather

Monday, November 17, 2014
by Liz Warren

Mt. Hood area residents have had more than a few days of big winds, freezing temps and snow! Lets start with the big winds that knocked out power to many mountain residents, at least a 1,000 in total, with huge gusts taking down big healthy trees and doing a lot of damage throughout the area including the forest service!

Freezing temps that brought the chill of winter early put vacation home owners in a panic in getting their pipes drained down and ready for the extended cold snap!

Then a bit of snow and ice showed up to top it off. Welches has about six inches on the ground and side roads are still fairly treacherous with ice pack. School was canceled for the second time for the Welches primary and middle schools due to road conditions.

Daytime warming should take care of some of the ice today.

Sun comes to Mt. Hood

New local resident Rod Scholl tells about his power outage experience and the generator he installed when he build his new home.

Heading back to our normal fall weather will be a great relief for many. This snow opened Mt. Hood Meadows this weekend and of course, Timberline, with the Palmer ski lift, is really rocking for skiers already!

If you are looking for a rustic style log sided cabin for your Mt. Hood getaway that is super affordable, this cabin is a great choice! It's been family owned for a long time and the current owners enjoyed bringing their kids up from knee high in the forest enjoying the outdoors.

Located in Rhododendron, this Mt. Hood National Forest cabin is located on Road 20E which is within a short walking distance to the Zig Zag River or Still Creek. Multiple sleeping areas and a very open floor plan with knotty pine, wood floors and a minimalist experience. An outhouse is steps from the cabin.

Super affordable at $55,000! Close to hiking, skiing and all Mt. Hood activities.

by Liz Warren

The Freshwater Trust is a non-profit group that has been working with the National Forest and the Bureau of Land Management to restore fish habitat in the Sandy River Basin. The Salmon River and Still Creek, both tributaries to the Sandy River,  once were teaming with Salmon and Steelhead but current numbers are 20% to 40% of what they once were. The ten year project started with the Salmon River but now the group is focusing on Still Creek, one of the most beautiful waterways in the Mt. Hood area.
