Snowing




Good Afternoon,






A few people had called asking if we would be open today, so I thought I should post a weather update.


Our snow showed up several hours earlier than what the forcast said. Everything is white, very pretty and wintery. The temperature is currently 33 so it is chilly, be sure to bundle up and we'll throw a couple extra blankets out for the hay ride and to warm up with by the fire.




Road is still in good shape, just wet. I expect we'll hear the snowplow come up the road in a few more hours.



The pictues I posted with this are ones I just took a couple minutes ago. Not enough snow yet for sledding or snowballs, but maybe in an hour or so we'll have enough to play in.

No More Ice!!

No ice this weekend. Just drizzle.

Everything is wet, but the roads are good. It is not even very chilly this morning. The weather says it will stay fairly warm today, but unfortunately it will be wet for the majority of the day.

Dress for rain, we'll have the coffee on and a fire going.......

Frosty Morning

It is a chilly 28 up here on the hill this morning. My weather reporter from Molalla said it was 31 in town. The crew isn't up here yet (I let them sleep in late) for a road report, but I am assuming that there are icy spots on the road this morning. In a couple of hours I expect it to be pretty nice up here. Brisk, but nice.

I see blue sky in the west and almost over the house so it should be warming up enough to melt the roads soon. Watch out for the corners and the shaded spots. Especially about a 1/2 mile past the fire station (going past the run down yellow house) and just past the log house. The dip and corners by Hardy road also stay a bit icy longer because of the shade.

Other than that it looks to be a beautiful day. It will be a bit muddy because of all the rain we had yesterday so boots would be a good idea, we'll have a hose out if you need to wash off boots before you go.

Hope to see you later on today.

No Ice Here

Goodmorning,

It's a chilly, drizzly, 37 degrees out this morning. The report from my crew coming up the hill said the road is wet but there is no ice on the way up the hill from Molalla.

I will update this as I hear from neighbors and friends during the day if the conditions change.

So for now, rain gear wouldn't be a bad idea and dress warm it is chilly, but at least not freezing cold like it has been lately.

Have a great Day
Hope to See You

Changes...

Some things never change?? The weather sure isn't changing, yet. Bundle up if you plan on comming up for a tree.

It is still the same, cold, 12 this morning which is an improvement over the 9 we had yesterday. Sounds like this weekend could get a bit snowy. We will update this daily when we have snow or even more as conditions change. Check back if you plan on coming up to get a tree this weekend.

Have a good day, stay warm.

We've gone beyond chilly

Good Morning,

Today is cold. 14 a few minutes ago. The forcast high for here is 25 today and 24 for tomorrow.

If you want to brave the weather, we'll come out and help you get your tree, roads should be good as everything is dry with all the wind we have been having. We threw a bunch of blankets on the hay ride to put over you and it helps a little bit. But warm layers and a good hat are definitely the dress code for the day.

One thing we can't do right now is bale your tree. When the trees get this cold the needles will shatter when the tree goes through the baler. We hope the temperature moderates enough by Wednesday to be able to bale again.

The sale sections of trees are clearing out fast. Most of the nobles are gone and we only have one tall doug left. The rest of the trees in the sale sections are grands. If you're looking for one of those, we got some good deals for you.

Have a good day, stay warm.

Chilly ...... and Windy

It's slightly warmer today. But does it matter if it is 24 or 28? I don't think so when the wind is blowing. And today it is.

It's another beautiful day, sunshine wise. Every so often clouds come over and a flake or two of snow falls down. But it is cold. Tme for a fire and a cup of cocoa or coffee before you go on your hay ride to the fields.

There is not near the frost today so the roads should be pretty good, only the corners where it is shaded may have some leftover ice on them. But be sure to bundle up, the wind is blowing today and that makes the 28 seem more like 8. Again, a blanket to take out on the ride might not be such a bad idea, especially for the kids.

The one good thing we can say about all this cold???? The mud is frozen.

Have a great day.
We hope to see you soon

Chilly, Chilly Chilly

And that's about all we can say about that.

24 degrees out this morning. But the trees have a coat of white from frost and with the sun comming up over the hills it makes for a pretty picture. In fact I should go take one and post it later.

We'll kick up the fire a notch today and keep the cocoa and coffee hot to help ward off the chill. One good thing today...we do not have fog. It's beautiful blue sky above us. After the sun comes up it should be a bit warmer, if you are standing in the sunshine.

If you are coming up today be careful on the road, especially the corners, they tend to stay a bit on the slick side for the majority of the day. Dress warm and I might even suggest a blanket to bring on the hay ride to bundle up in. We do have some blankets we leave on the ride but they are covered with hay pretty quick.

Hope to see you this weekend,

A jChilly Day

It's a beautiful sunny day today, but it is cold.......29 the last time I looked.

The trees are covered with a heavy frost and will probably be pretty wet for the next few hours. If you are comming up, be careful on the corners on your way up the hill, especially the ones in the shade. They can stay slick for a good portion of the day in this type weather.

We are open every day during the week, and we have all the activities that we do on weekends. It's just a lot quieter up here during the week.
Have a Great Day
