SPRING WEB CAMS Clouds, sun and snow!

Spring is a transition season from winter to summer. Sometimes it looks and feels like winter; at other times it seems more like summer; and then there are days like today when we have both!

The web camera from the Oregon Department of Forestry shows a good example of a typical northwest scene: some clouds and a few patches of blue. At 3pm it was 52 in Medford.

Meanwhile to the north in the Central Oregon Cascades we had a little taste of winter. If you look closely at the Oregon Department of Transportation web camera you can make out some flakes. Look at the side of the road, you can see some white spots, those are flakes close to the camera. The information on the ODOT camera shows the temperature right at freezing.


And finally it looked more like summer in the San Juan Islands. The web camera from Islandcam.com shows the nice western Washington scene and popular boating destination Friday Harbor where at 3pm it was 61.


Let’s hope the northwest looks more like the skies over Friday Harbor come this weekend. I know a lot of boaters are hoping so with opening day of boating season and the Windermere Cup at the University of Washington Saturday. Think sun!
