Oregon's Mid Winters.


The climate Of both Oregon and Washington
is mild and equable. In western Oregon and
Washington it is difficult TO draw the lines that
divide the seasons. Winter is usually wet
season, but there are often long periods Of per-
feet weather i'm February and March. Flowers
frequently bloom IN the open air in January,
aud green fields Of growing grass aud grain
may be seen all Winter. Once or twice during
the Winter a few inches of snow falls, but it
disappears rapidly. At intervals Of several
wears occurs a Winter with 10 days or two
weeks of freezing weather and considerable
fall Of snow. The Summers are cool. and ex-
cessive heat is unknown. In eastern Oregon
and Washington the climate IS different. The
dry season of Summer is more pr0traCted, the
rainfall is less and the heat is greater, though
il is never excessive. The Winters are colder,
but OF short duration, the snowfall is light and
seldom lies long in the valleys, and live stock
ranges on the plains all Winter, thriving on
the natural grasses without other food, except
when the snow is unusually deep or the cold
period unusually prOtracted.
