Life of the Party
I have lived atop both White and Snocrummie passes either running groomers or as night janitor so I could ski every day. I’ve seen years where skiing didn’t get goin till mid/ late January. Spent 25 years as an irrigator on a ranch where snowpack and reservoirs were critical. Eventually it became clear that worrying about snow or water was a waste of time till at least the end of February. I can recall getting an entire seasons worth of snow in little more than two weeks mid March. If I were to be concerned it would be over 2023 being the warmest year ever.

You can have plenty of water but if it is so warm you shouldn’t fish we’re screwed anyway

Hit 10 briefly in Eburg. Now it’s cooling off again 
I drove from Long Beach Peninsula (Oysterville) today through the Gorge. Started out at 31 at the beach, 37 in Portland, then the temperature dropped like a rock through the Gorge. First came freezing rain, then blowing snow and black ice. Several wrecks near The Dalles (people need to slow down) and then temperatures hovering around and below 10 degrees on the east side. Glad to be home. It’s about 9 outside now and a nice 72 degrees in the house. Planning on staying inside this weekend….
Look how hot it is now that the sun is up this morning...
Here comes the sun...

Here at my winter quarters on the Little Spokane River it got down to -11 on Friday night but warmed up to -6 on Saturday. It stayed below zero all day Saturday. I'm staying inside until I see 20 degrees again, possibly mid week.
I seem to be in the perfect spot, after having cold feet since I was frostbitten on Mt McKinley in 1967, my apartment has heated floors so I am not fighting the usual winter discomfort of perpetually cold toes. In fact, proofing pizza dough yesterday, I put the covered bowl on the tile floor of the bathroom for 3 hours at an ideal temp for the dough to raise!
Heavy snow predicted by the end of the week-Oh Joy!

I'm happy you've found a nice place to over winter and not have to deal with digging out up in Ione! Enjoy. (I wish the rental we're in had heated floors).
Be well/Pat
