The Weather

An ice breaker is to talk to someone about the weather.  It is a safe topic and you aren't likely to offend a person you just met.  So in today's blog let's do just that. No, not offend anyone, just weather talk.

Pacific City, Oregon is a great place to live.  The weather is very mild through out the year.  It rarely freezes and is rarely above 80º.  This year, we had snow on April 20th and 93º May 23rd.  Very strange.  We tell everyone, "the weather is always better in Pacific City."

When it is cold in the Willamette Valley, it is warmer here.  When it is hot, it's cool here.  Yesterday was a classic example.  91º in Portland, 71º in Pacific City.

The Winter is very mild.  Low temperature in the mid 30's and highs in the 50's.  It does rain here during the Winter, oh yeah, in the Fall and Spring too.  The winter brings the big storms and big seas.  Wind gusts over 100 mph is very common a few storms a year.  Sideways rain, we get that too.  The good thing about it all is that the storms come in and then leave.  Unlike Portland and the Valley, they have grey skies for weeks.  We see the sun almost every day.

Summer days see the marine layer hang out until 10:00 or so.  It then burns off for a nice sunny day reaching in to the 70's.  Then around sunset, the marine layer moves back in to cool us off and the Valley too.

So, if you are too hot, come to The Craftsman B&B in Pacific City.  If you are too cold, come here as well.  I am an all weather.  I do wear a coat when it's rainy, nobody likes the smell of a wet dog.
