Finally, the 2 months of continuous rain we've had here in Portland has finally ceased.  The clouds are clearing up and we can finally see the sky (huh, I didn't realize it was blue) but with that comes the cold.  From what my wife has explained to me, since I'm still new to Oregon, is that the rain actually keeps the heat in, hence the lack of snow we get up here.  But as soon as the rain stops, the bone-chilling cold starts.  Well, this is exactly what has happened.   

As far as this phenomenon goes, don't ask me to explain because I still don't get it completely.  Rather, I think I get it but not well enough to explain it.  Hey, I'm no meteorologist.

Anyway, this morning I woke up to frost covering almost everything and the temperature was at a brisk 33 degrees.  Ahhhhh.  Good bye rain, hello bone chilling cold.  

Spring is coming... isn't it?
