Deer, tennis, and an igloo (February 8, 2025 – Ashland, Oregon)

…we had one of the oddest scenes out our back window.

February 4, 2025 – Ashland, Oregon

Our home is a couple hundred feet above the bottom of town so we tend to get an inch or two of snow when other parts of town get little or nothing. However, in our 25 years, we haven’t ever had (although 2017 and 2021 had some fairly big dumps) as much as we got earlier this month. It’s still melting. Ironically, the major storm wasn’t predicted, and just a week before we were wondering whether this would be one of those years were we don’t get any snow.

Looking east in Ashland, Oregon

I’ve posted this view many times before, usually a sunrise. However, sometimes a look to the east can be nice even as the sun is setting in the opposite direction.
