La Niña conditions that were a big driver behind colder and wetter weather in the Columbia Basin “are no longer present” — at least over the Pacific Ocean, according to a monthly report issued February 9 by the NOAA Climate Prediction Center. Ocean waters have been warming and climate neutral conditions are emerging, and there are greater-than-even chances of an El Niño climate pattern taking hold during the second half of this year, the report states. La Niña was expected to produce cooler and wetter weather in the four-state Columbia Basin, a...

NOT NICE--The weekend began with lots of rain and temps in the 40s, so when I went to bed on Saturday night to pouring rain and 45 degree temps, I didn't think much of it, other than I knew I'd wake up to a "lake" Sunday morning. Well, I did wake up to a "lake" in our field, but it was also surrounded by a whole lot of snow; yikes! The late night forecast said that snow would not be arriving until later Sunday, so that was off just a wee bit. With some folks getting three inches and others up to six, or even close to a foot, we were certainly h...

Snow, snow and a little more snow. It was beautiful to look at, but treacherous to drive in for many. Lots of trees and big branches down which also caused some distraction for a few. I would like to say a huge thank you to our county crews for all their hard work and for probably losing a bit of sleep in order to keep things running smooth. I know I won’t drive in it if I don’t have to, but many folks have to get to work, and without your crews keeping the roads clear, that would not be possible. Thank you. News from Naselle: Sports cal...

MILDER/THEN COLD?--We had a few days of warmer temperatures around here but still had some freezing mornings in West Valley, so it hasn't exactly been a heat wave! Still, it's certainly better than the massive flooding, snowfalls and freezing rain episodes that were happening in other parts of our country. I am hoping that my weather app is really wrong, as it says we could get a little more snow by the time you read this, but just in case it's right, take it easy out there! INTERNET WOES--It seems like whenever it's time to turn in my column,...
