Happy New Year!

Wintertime at the coast can be a relief from the chillier interior temps. Although we have had rathew mild weather these past few weeks, the coast is often 5° to 10° warmer than locales inland such as Vancouver, WA and Portland, OR. The coast is generally quite mild and often a nice getaway in the winter months. This warmer tendency is particularly noticeable during extreme cold events where cold air is trapped in the inland valleys but kept at bay from the coast. That said, storms that approach the coast in the winter months can be rather wild, wet, and windy. Do peek at local weather forecasts when visitng in the winter; dress and prep approapriately :) I do beleive we have a great chance of seeing the COVID-19 restrictions largely eased by springtime. Vaccines and natural herd immunity are already moving a ahead and we should be able to get back to some semblance of normal over the next few months. That will be a most welcome event. Happy New Year!
