Beach snow

Crazy weekend weather in the gorge wasn't enough for me. After my cold Saturday morning hike, Brad and I joined friends at Pacific City for a brief getaway. The almost-April snow in the Coast Range was strange enough, but about 7 a.m. Sunday I awoke to huge flakes falling right outside our sea-level cabin. I put on my glasses and found snow piling up on the deck and picnic table. And the sand dunes across the Nestucca River had turned white!
Fat flakes fell for another 30 minutes or so. I've seen snow at the beach before, but not this late in the season. Right now, I'm looking out my window at bright sunshine and blue skies. It's just plain crazy.
