It’s Snowing!
Have you noticed the snow? Outside it started falling on Sunday December 14th. Here, on eliotneighborhood.org…on the 15th. Outside, at first, it only accumulated a few inches at best but then it got really cold – in the teens. It doesn’t seem to accumulate much here.
A Weekend of Snow
I grew up in Bend where it snows often. In my 12 years living in the Portland this recent storm is the most snow I have seen here. As I talk to “old-timers” they have a hard time remembering this much snow accumulating and sticking for so long. I love it! My wife and I along with our dog made the most of it over the last few days.
Volunteers Needed
The Eliot Neighborhood Friends of Trees planting will be on Saturday February 14th. Volunteers are needed to help make this planting a success. It’s a great way to get to know your neighbors and help improve the neighborhood.
