Hardy Plant Society of Oregon meeting cancelled.

This is one of those days when the TV stations think they need to broadcast continuous coverage of latest winter storm.

Portland is being is currently caught under a layer cold artic air under a moisture laden air moving over the top of it. The rain is freezing as it hits the colder air. There is a quarter to half inch of rain on the group. Almost all events, with the exception of the National Ice Skating competitions, are being cancelled today.

There has been a continuous stream of messages across the bottom of the TV. One really caught my attention. The Hardy Plant Society of Oregon cancelled their meeting. I guess the weather is even too much for plants (or at least their owners.

Normally this kind of weather doesn’t last long. I’m looking forward to the return of the rain.
