Greetings from one of your Weather Gals, embedded here at the Coast. And I do mean embedded! Just me and hot tea and laryngitis and a good book in front of the fire.
Oh, the weather! Today is clear—well, clear gray—no wind, no precip, not cold. A great day for a beach walk.
It’s a challenge to predict weather on the Oregon Coast so that’s why you should check this Weather Gals blog for the real story.
Even if the weather is crummy—dark and gloomy and drippy—it’s probably more than you can say for what you are looking at wherever you live. At least here there’s the glorious Pacific rolling in right outside the window.
If you jump in the buckboard and head west from Portland or south from Seattle, you’ll be here in no time. Then you can hunker down with a hot toddy—or in the case of today—a great walk in front of Haystack Rock, look at the waves, watch the trees and be hypnotized by late fall at the Coast.
Oh about that good book: It’s Malcolm Gladwell’s new one, Outliers. You should read it.
What to look for at the beach:
EVOO—the town’s only cooking school has salt. Lots of it. Black salt, herbed salt and even its own private label French gourmet salt. What? You didn’t know salt was hot? Where have you been anyway—buying Morton’s at the grocery store?
Lamplighting—Trace a big red circle around the date Nov. 29 and come on down for a nostalgic community lamp lighting ceremony in Sandpiper Square, 3 p.m. Visit the Chamber’s Web site for more information, www.cannonbeach.org.
More weather and events next week! We hope to see you here soon.
