High desert most often refers to Eastern Oregon but there are some similarities with parts of Eastern Washington too. I'm nestled right up against the eastern slopes of the Cascade Mountains so we don't get near the precipitation of the west side though we typically (not this year) get a whole lot more snow. It makes for quite a diverse selection of landscape with this just a few minutes to the west:
and this not too far to the east:
...anyway, yeah... not much snow yet this year.
You live in a little slice of heaven, boonie.

Incorrect. "High desert" refers to the High Desert Mavericks, a minor league baseball team based in California that has featured such future major leaguers as Javy Lopez, Matt Mieske, and Rod Barajas. Originally Posted by Rev. Hellh0und

We've been having a fair amount of rain down here in SE Ohio, no snow yet. If you guys get any, please keep that shit up there - I can do without it. Originally Posted by metheron

Here in Western WA we have had a cold snap the last few weeks and it actually got down to freezing and below...
No snow though.
Last night it was only down to 40 so I hope the cold is over.
We get clouds here that act like a blanket in winter and provide shade and rain in summer.
I love Washington State, everyone should be so lucky.
Hood Canal retirement next year I'm hoping, just call me Jeremiah Johnson.
Thx

Same here pretty much. I'm so glad I got that sump pump last spring. Life in the basement is good now. Originally Posted by beatleboy
