Neely’s BodyBlog

My last blog was about how I need to get out of this crummy weather here in Oregon.

I just wanted to put some extra emphasis on that

The last week or so, I have to admit, was nice in the fact that the sun was out. We rarely see the sun during the winter months around here. However, it was freezing cold. And now the rain is back. All day today it’s been raining, and I think it made it up to a whopping 38 degrees (F). 38 doesn’t seem all that bad, until you’re in 90-100% humidity. It chills you right down to the bone.

So I check the weather reports today; just to see how long this wave of rain might last. One forecast calls for 2" of snow tomorrow. Another calls for snow on Monday. Either way, whether it hits tomorrow or Monday, it’s insane. I’m only at an elevation of about 350 feet here. Snow should not be falling this low! lol

And the kicker is, even if the forecasts are wrong (like the usually are), it’s still going to be a steady 32 degrees for the next few days.

I’m SOOOO tired of being cold!!

Would anybody out there in a year-round warm climate like to adopt me? haha

I hate hate hate hate Oregon winters.

I grew up in the snow. High desert snow. So even though it was cold, it was a dry cold. And even though there was a ton of snow on the ground, the sun still shined a lot of the time.

After being in Oregon for about 9 years now, I really don’t think I can ever get used to the rain. It’s so depressing. It’s wet, dark, chill-you-to-the-bone cold, and overall.. GREY!! In some areas here, you can literally go for a month or more without ever seeing the sun peek out; even for a few minutes.

Hopefully someday I can move to a warmer climate. Or at least be able to take vacations to those warm places every once in a while!!
