As we built this house on the hill, it became apparent that we had a really amazing site for watching the weather roll in.
The clouds always seem so close here.
We enjoyed a pause from work to watch rain storms sweep across the valley.
We get a lot of our weather from the west. Leftover maritime weather I guess!
Sometimes when I am talking to my folks back in the Willamette Valley, they will mention "oh a storm has come in," and in about four hours we can see dark clouds coming from the west.
Funny thing, though: from the satellite weather maps it is often seen that there is a sort of dry circle right over our immediate area, so sometimes the rain goes around us and we won't get the deluge we see coming. It is especially annoying to the children in the wintertime, who sometimes see it snowing over there when they want it here.

I know how that is. We often see the clouds coming in from the southwest and they will skirt right by us and then I’ll hear from family further south that they are getting a deluge or snowstorm. It seems we are always in the banana belt where snow is concerned.
