Ridge Road in Ashland, Oregon (February 2025)

In February 2025, Ashland received more snow than it had in over 55 years. This winter, we haven’t had more than a few flakes that didn’t stick.

Sadly, this beautiful monkey-puzzle tree didn’t make it through 2025. I don’t know if February’s heavy snow was a contributing factor. The good news is that the owners have planted another one so in a few decades it should look similar to the old one.
