On November 1st Bend welcomed winter with 3 inches of snow covering the entire town and mountains. Bob Shaw’s weather report shows the mountains and bend with continuous showers. Emerson alsobrooks couldn’t be more ready for the winter season, “this is so beautiful and exciting, it’s kind of crazy that it’s come this close after Halloween”. With snow coming this early, Bend won’t need to pray for snow much longer as the Bend weather forecast is predicting a big winter.
