New Year's Eve Brings Same Old Gorge Winds

The last day of 2007 brought the Columbia River Gorge winds back to Troutdale. As you can see from NOAA's chart below, the winds picked up at about 12pm December 31, and have been blowing consistently ever since at 20-30mph, with gusts up to 46 mph. In other words, normal Troutdale winter weather.
