November 12th and it's sleeting/snowing/raining and windy as all get out.... all at the same time! It doesn't look like much really but we're talking Portland Oregon!!! Saturday I was mowing the grass in almost 60* weather. The last couple of days the east wind gusts were upwards of the 50 mph pulling that nice chilly air in from the east side. Today we're reaping the benefits of the cold air! The wind chill has been around 20* or below for the last couple of days so even though it's not officially freezing (almost there today!) the birds water dish is frozen solid and the cars have freezing rain on them today. So I'm sitting enjoying the first fire of the winter season with the kitties! :) Christina is baking. She's really started baking quite a bit. It IS possible to have really good tasting gluten-free food!!
And now the snow is really starting to pick up! Pretty unreal! I believe our first day of winter precipitation is the same day as Klamath Falls! Odds of that happening aren't very high but we've managed it this year (Talked with Alex this morning)!
This is what we woke up to this morning- remember-Portland Oregon-November 12th!
Sleet
Sleet and freezing rain

Poppy seed muffins with orange and lemon zest- Can't wait!!
The final product!
