Melissa received her B.S. in Business Administration from UC Berkeley and her M.B.A. from Harvard Business School. Melissa has lived in Bend since 2003 and enjoys hik- ing, biking, skiing and help- ing Central Oregon maintain its incredible quality of life. “The Land Trust is very fortunate to have Melissa and Inge join our Board of Directors,” said Executive Director Brad Chalfant. “Their professional backgrounds, leadership skills, commitment to con- servation, and their ability to connect us to our local com- munities adds significant depth to an already strong Board. Furthermore, as an organization that holds and cares for land forever, we look to our Board to provide the long-term guidance that will help our conservation projects stand the test of time. Melissa and Inge will help continue that long tradition.” The Deschutes Land Trust conserves land for wild- life, scenic views, and local communities. As Central Oregon’s only nationally accredited and locally based land trust, the Deschutes Land Trust has protected more than 8,900 acres since 1995.

The La Niña watch was updated on November 9, declaring that the ONI value is currently near negative 0.5, putting the ENSO on the cusp of the expected La Niña. There is now a 65-75 percent chance that La Niña conditions will continue at least through the 2017-18 winter. The outlooks generally favor above-average temper- atures and below-median pre- cipitation across the southern tier of the United States, and below-average temperatures and above-median precipita- tion across the northern tier of the states. Wintertime La Niñas usu- ally tip the odds in favor of cooler and wetter conditions here in the Pacific Northwest.

Parsons further projects that, unlike the past two sea- sons, the second half of win- ter will be colder than the first half. The Climate Prediction Center’s revised outlooks with regard to temperature and precipitation came out on November 16. For the three- month period December through February, there is a 70 percent chance of below- normal temperatures in west- ern Washington extending into extreme northwestern Oregon. Odds for cold tem- peratures fall to 55 percent in Central Oregon. There’s a 55 percent chance of above-normal precipitation levels in Washington and northeast of a line extending from about Astoria to southeast- ern Oregon. The remainder of Oregon stands an equal chance of getting greater, less or normal amounts of precipitation.

Temperatures should be slightly cooler than normal in December and much cooler in February, but a shade above normal in January. Precipitation is expected to be normal in December and February, slightly above average in January. Rod Hill, meteorologist for KGW TV in Portland, believes temperatures will be cold in December and February, slightly above nor- mal in January. He thinks precipitation totals for the three-month period will be normal at best, and wouldn’t be surprised if it turned out on the dry side.

Parsons anticipates temperatures in November and December to come in somewhat above aver- age, colder than normal in January. Precipitation levels 220 S.
