That's not what Oregon residents told us a couple of weeks ago when we were up there touring and camping along their coast.

Everything looked green and all rivers/streams were flowing full ... however residents told us that their mountain snowfall levels - that keep them green the rest of the year - are the problem. It appears that these levels are way down in Oregon, too ... just like in California.

Our relatives in Washington are telling us the same thing - inland mountain snowpacks are down everywhere in the western coastal states.
