Oregon could see a warm start to winter ZACH URNESS STATESMAN JOURNAL The beginning of win- ter could be warmer than normal in Oregon and the Northwest, according to the National Weather Ser- vice’s three-month outlook. The annual predictions show a “greater possibili- ty” of warm temperatures in the Pacific Northwest from November to Janu- ary, along with a neutral possibility of wet weather. The predictions spot- light an important time for Oregon — the time when snow piles up in the Cascade Range for the winter recreation season. “It’s too soon to make any sort of snowpack pre- diction, but look at how (warmer-than-normal) temperature hit the snow- pack the last two years,” said Kathie Dello, deputy director of the Oregon Cli- mate Service at Oregon State University. “In 2015, we had almost no snow. In 2016, there was a rapid meltout.” Snowpack predictions have been all over the place this fall. Meteorologist Chris Tomer predicted above average snowpack for Oregon’s Cascade Range in the blog “On the Snow.” Likewise, long-ranger forecaster Paul Pastelok, who works with the weather service Accu- Weather, said the Pacific Northwest would see snow piling up “right off the bat in December.” In other words, take every long-term forecast with a grain of salt. “Right now it’s wait and see,” Dello said.

DANIELLE PETERSON / STATESMAN JOURNAL Festivalgoers brave the rain during the 51st Mount Angel Oktoberfest on Saturday, Sept. 17. The four-day festival, which celebrates the harvest, features live music, Bavarian-style food and beer. Festival Continued from Page 1A Edelweiss Building and Glockenspiel Restaurant. Commissioning the carving of the six military figures was the realiza- tion of a decade-old dream for Dill and the other sup- porters of the project who wanted to honor military veterans. With help from a Marion County grant and a chamber of com- merce donation, they’ve raised just $4,500 shy of the $30,000 required – and enough to complete the project. The military men and women were unveiled on July 4. In the next few weeks, they’ll come down and be placed at six local busi- nesses, where they’ll stay until next May. The plan is to exchange the figures and songs every year, so the military statues play May-August. A core of lo- cal volunteers has com- mitted to make the switch, which will be easier now with a new winch-and-pul- ley system installed in the clock tower. “It takes about five hours for the figures to go up and down, and the mu- sic’s got to match … it’s a big production,” Dill said. Next year, the German figures will be back on display in the clock. Adding to the one-of-a- kind atmosphere sur- rounding the Glocken- spiel at this year’s Okto- berfest, a parade of mili- tary vehicles came through downtown on Sat- urday just as the military figures finished their cho- reographed show and the last strains of “God Bless America” died away. A Ford Jeep, a transport truck, a Sherman tank, a Walker Bulldog tank and other vehicles owned by Military Vehicle Club Col- lector Club of Oregon members rumbled through town. As it turns out, the two military events weren’t purposely synchronized, said Kay Wiesner. She and her husband, Mark, par- ticipate in the Oktober- fest’s military vehicle show at the American Le- gion Hall every year, as do Mt. Angel residents Joe and Wendy Borschowa. “We always do the con- voy through town on Sat- urday morning and then again in the afternoon,” Wiesner said. At the end of the show on Saturday, collectors typically invite members of the public to ride from the hall to their staging area in a sort-of impromp- tu parade. And this year, with all the rain, they de- cided to call it quits a little early, driving by the Glockenspiel just as the doors closed. “I wish I could take credit for coordinating that, but I can’t,” said Bochsler, with a laugh.
