Corvallis Slushpocalypse

Yesterday evening, Oregon State University decided to start classes two hours late today in case the forecast snow came to pass.  This morning when I woke up at 6:30am, I saw several inches laying atop my car.  By the time I got out of the house at 7:30 the snow had turned to slush.  This is a snowman some of my residents built outside the Phi Delta Theta fraternity house.

 The feared ice-covered roadways turned out to be nothing more than a bunch of slush.

 A few people were heading into work this morning in spite of the delay.

 Not many cars in the parking lot.

 Slushy footsteps.

There were people waiting in front of the library for it to open.  They will be surprised when they have to wait until 10am before they can enter.

 Snow on a statue.

 The MU Quad covered in slush.

 Not as much snow as I would have liked.  Better luck next storm.

 

Valley of the Giants with Jesi and Brent

 

 

A few weekends back, Jesi, Brent, and I went out to Valley of the Giants for some excitement and adventure.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Big trees with heart rot.

 

Jesi loves big trees as much as I do.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fitton Green with Jesi

Jesi and I went out yesterday to Fitton Green for a little exercise.  It is absolutely gorgeous out there this time of year.

The poison oak is starting to change color.

Color is just starting to come onto the trees scattered throughout the preserve.
