Fires raged in and near Crater Lake National Park all summer. In fact, many areas of Oregon were ablaze for weeks. I didn't see clear skies again until I got into Northern California last month.
Finally, the state may be getting some relief as snow and rain has begun to fall.
According to the Mail Tribune:
Snow dusted Mount Ashland and a bit more fell on parts of Crater Lake overnight as light rain continued to wet the lower valleys and further calm area wildfires.
“And so it begins. The first flakes of the season!” a Mt. Ashland Ski Area Facebook post said, complete with an early-morning photo of blowing snow.
Crater Lake National Park’s entrance center and parts of the rim got as much as half an inch of slushy snow, according to the National Weather Service.
