@ingalls CN85to, 152m elevation #CamasWA #wawx

@legallaurak @robotdeathsquad power just went out here in #CamasWA. Running #greenhouse (propane igniter and fan) and house pellet stove on generator. Rigged up internet and other small stuff on battery power (which can be recharged on solar power). Last Saturday power was out as well for ~13 hours. Still need to find a good solution for the 220v well pump.

There’s some nice small generators to be had for essentials. Make sure you get an “inverter” generator to cleanly power electronics.

44.2°C (111.5°F) here in #CamasWA Probably the peak for today. Measured using Acurite Iris Weather Station as well as homebrew #DS18B20 sensor. #WAwx #ORwx #weather

We had a crazy weekend and sold a lot of flowers! Inaugural weekend for the farm stand made out of building material scraps

@jacobrown snow in #CamasWA as well just half an inch or so at 480ft here #WAwx #WA

Made 3 greenhouse tables today. Set up a little production line. Probably need another 6 or 8…Size: 6 feet wide, 3 feet deep. #farming #WA #CamasWA

9:28, March 24, 2023. #snow coming down hard in #CamasWA elevation 480ft. Snow is starting to stick to the trees and ground. #WA #WAwx

Got a good inch from last night’s #snow. Schools are open but starting two hours late. Temperature is 0°C #WAwx #WA #CamasWA

here we go again, more #snow - 22:50 Tuesday night. #WAwx #CamasWA #WA

March 7, 2023 7:07 PST the sun is shining through the trees. #fog in the valley below. There is still some #snow left on the deck from the massive amounts that slid down the roof. #CamasWA #WA #WAwx #sunrise #nofilter

some big flockers are coming down! #flockingsnow #WAwx #WA #CamasWA #snow

At 480ft elevation here in #CamasWA we got another 0.75” / 2cm of #snow overnight. Some rain this morning along with big snowflakes. Temperature is 2°C now, snow is melting and sliding down our metal roof, crashing loudly on the roof below.
Utility power went out for a very short time- the furnace blower revved down and electronics turned off. Power came back almost immediately and I quickly ground beans for another #coffee. #WAwx #WA #PNW

Mt. Hood, seen from 150ft up from our place in #CamasWA. Snow in the valley below us where the Little Washougal River runs through. #snow #PNW #WA #MtHood

Needless to say, the #goats are not amused.

2” of snow in #CamasWA, grid CN85to, elevation 480ft. Still coming down hard. Big, chonky flakes. Camas schools closed for the day. Trees are cracking under the weight. Let’s hope the utility power stays on.

Today we made Big Leaf Maple Syrup!! 2nd try. We started out with 7.5 gallons (28.4 l) of sap and ended up with about 20 fl oz (0.6 l) of delicious syrup. The sap was collected over the last 5 days, from 5 trees. #BigLeafMapleSyrup #PNW #WA #CamasWA

Snow on the ground in Camas, WA (CN85to)- 0.5”-ish, elevation 500ft. Schools are starting 2 hours late. snow routes are in effect on Mt. Livingston. #camaswa #wa #wawx

Snow in Camas, WA- #gridsquare CN85to #camaswa #pnw #wa

We did it! First try, made actual Big Leaf Maple syrup and it’s sooo good! 2.5 gallon yielded half a cup of pure gold. #maplesyrup #bigleafmaplesyrup #wastate #camaswa

We put our trees to work- we tapped 6 big leaf maple trees!! Perfect time for it: froze last night and sunny today. It was incredible to see the sap flowing out immediately- we already had supplies and tried a variety of taps. Some trees yielded 2 cups in a few hours. #pnw #wa #bigleafmaplesyrup #camaswa

60+ mph wind here. Lights are flickering, but now we are prepared for a power outage - finally got a generator that will power a pellet stove, lights and very soon the well pump too #camaswa #pnw #storm

#camaswa #pnw #winterstorm is easing up a bit. Winds died down mostly, but this morning’s rain still froze. Temps are a little above freezing now.

Greenhouse update: we installed the hard plastic end walls and last Saturday we managed to put the double layer of 6mm poly over the top! Just in time for the freezing weather and high winds. We installed a blower that puts air in between the layers of poly and inflates it a bit. The 60mph wind gusts did not hurt anything. Last night the hail and freezing rain put a hard 1/4” shell of ice over everything. #camaswa #greenhouse #farming #pnw #icestorm
