February 1, 2008. It is a nice morning this morning. a little blue sky showing and kind of rainy. The snow dusted the foothills last night but nothing around town. You may not be able to tell from these pictures, but the Rogue is running red! Looks like the fish get a freebie this weekend. Grants Pass Weather

Another day of snow January 30, 2008. Wow! It just won’t stop snowing. It has been a while since we have had the snow stick around this long. Makes driving a bit of a chore but it is winter. Hope you are enjoying it. I think we are just about through as the snow is starting to melt away rather quickly. When the sun comes out it makes for some great pictures. Grants Pass Weather
