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.

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.
