Snow in Joseph


Yeah, it snowed here, and I'm not happy about it. In fact, I am cranky. Why couldn't of this happened in say DECEMBER? Or at Christmas time for that matter? Just as everyone is sick of winter, it snows, and it snows a lot. Thursday night were pleasantly surprised to see about a foot of snow here in Joseph. It was quite a shock to all of us. It had been spitting snow all day, but as soon as 5 o'clock hit, we were hit hard. Almost 2 inches an hour as a matter of fact. Until about 10pm, the snow fell hard. Joseph was buried.

The weather guys were saying it was just supposed to be "cold artic air from parts of Canada... it's a dry airmass..." I ask "then where did all this snow come from?" How come the weather guys seem to be more wrong than right most of the time?

What's funny is this snow didn't hit anywhere but the southern part of the Wallowa Valley. Odd. You go to Enterprise, and there's barely a skiff there. Odd. Very Odd. But the picture tells the story of how winter just doesn't ever seem to end early in Wallowa County.
