[or-roots] Are you still there?

Hey Carroll,
Don't think you are quite THAT old - 1840!

  I was living in Medford by June of '49 but do remember the Columbia River freezing over in Dec. of '48. Lived in Montavilla until I was 12 (1840) then in Parkrose until 1949. Remember walking to school during the silver thaws and the east wind - lots of fun. Missed the rain when I first came down here. Ah, nostalgia!

    You might recall the winter of '49/50.  It started with
    the wind that blew a car carrier off the Columbia
    River highway, snowed at Thanksgiving and on the
    following mid Jan was 8 above in Portland and 3 above in Seattle with another Alaska storm about to hit.

    We hit snow to Redding, and Ice down to the
    Cartinez straits just out of Martinez CA. that
    January.
