Spring Arrives (Sort Of)

You wouldn't know it from the cold, mostly cloudy weather lately, but today marks the return of Spring. The vernal equinox, with nearly equal hours of daytime and nighttime, occurs when the tilt of the earth on its axis places the sun directly over the equator.

Whereas February in Hood River was warmer than average, March has been cooler. There have only been two days so far (March 9-10) where the high reached the low to mid 60's. Sure would be nice to have some 70 degree days, but the forecast for the rest of the month is for more of the same.

Lots of snowpack in the mountains though!

  1. Re: the Obama Speech

    It was a very good speech. How are Republicans supposed to vote?? The results would be more interesting if only folks voting in the "D" primary were counted.

  2. A republican would vote that it either changed his vote (towards Obama)or that it didn't. If not, that would mean that they still supported the Republican candidate.

    Sorry, I thought of adding more choices but due to space limitations, I tried to make it as concise as I could.
