This is a picture taken in McMinnville Oregon December 2008, where I was born an lived most of my life.  they have had some unsual weather in the north west. usually the  snows dont hit hard till Feb. December being just a bit early.  by Feb. its going to look like the ice age in the NW at this rate.  I live in Bakersfield now, an its been cold an wet here … well cold for Bakersfield.
