Public use restrictions eased on
Forecast: ‘Anything goes’ weather
Wallowa-Whitman National Forest for Paciic Northwest winter
East Oregonian
The Wallowa-Whitman
National Forest has lowered
public use restrictions in the
woods from Phase B to Phase
A, reinstating seasonal camp-
ire restrictions and allowing
chainsaw use during approved
hours.
Phase A is the second
level of restrictions, generally
implemented when ire danger
is moderate to high. The
Umatilla National Forest went
back into Phase A restrictions
earlier in the week.
Under seasonal restrictions,
campires are allowed if they
are built in pits surrounded by
dirt, rock or commercial rings,
in areas that have been cleared
of lammable vegetation
within a 3-foot radius. Anyone
tending a campire must have
with them a shovel or similar
tool, as well as one gallon
of water, to ensure the ire is
completely extinguished prior
to leaving.
Shovels and water are not
required at certain developed
campgrounds,
including
Anthony Lakes Campground,
Union Creek Campground
and Fish Lake Campground.
Seasonal campire restrictions
will remain in effect through
Oct. 31.
Chainsaws are allowed
only between the hours of 8
p.m. and 1 p.m. Operators
should have an ax, shovel and
minimum 8-ounce ire extin-
guisher on hand, and must
watch for ires for one hour
after inishing. These restric-
tions do not apply to people
with commercial or personal
use irewood permits, which
fall under a different set of
regulations.
Phase A also limits smoking
to enclosed vehicles, buildings
or cleared areas, and prohibits
off-road vehicle travel through
standing grass or anything else
that could catch on ire.

National Forest’s Public Use
Restrictions, call 541-523-

BRIEFLY
Infant death linked
to co-sleeping
BAKER CITY (AP) —
Baker County authorities are
investigating the death of a
5-week-old boy who died
of asphyxiation caused by
co-sleeping.
The Baker City Herald
reports the baby had been
sleeping with his mother
when he died last weekend.
The baby’s father was also
home at the time.
District Attorney Matt
Shirtcliff said that an
autopsy was conducted
Monday in Portland.
Shirtcliff said he and his
staff helped establish a Cribs
for Kids program in Baker
County after three babies died
of “positional asphyxiation”
linked to co-sleeping in 2009
and another two died last year.
Horses, mules die
in highway accident
THE DALLES (AP) —
Four horses and two mules
that escaped their pasture are
dead after being struck by a
big rig hauling potatoes in
Sherman County.
The Oregon State Police
says the animals were
standing in the middle of
U.S. Highway 97 when they
were hit in the pre-dawn
hours Friday morning.
The driver of the truck
was not hurt but the vehicle
sustained severe damage to
the front end.
The animals had to walk
several miles to get to the
highway from their pasture.
It’s not clear how they
escaped their enclosure.
By TOM BANSE
Northwest Public Radio
OLYMPIA, Wash. —
What kind of weather might
the Northwest be in for this
fall and winter? Well, one
meaningful clue came when
federal forecasters at the
National Weather Service
Climate Prediction Center
Thursday dropped their “La
Nina Watch.”
La Nina and its opposite,
El Nino, are tropical climate
patterns that can strongly
inluence snowfall and
temperatures in the Paciic
Northwest. La Nina is
characterized by unusually
cold surface waters in the
equatorial Paciic Ocean.
For much of this
year, federal forecasters
thought a mild La Nina
was developing. But no
longer. Kathie Dello,
deputy director of the
Oregon Climate Service at
Oregon State University,
said the outlook has now
been dialed back to “ENSO
neutral” in weather-speak
— or La Nada.
But she said that doesn’t
necessarily equate to an
“average” winter.
“Well really, anything
goes,” Dello said. “We’ve
had warm ENSO neutral
years. We’ve had cool ones.
Wet ones, dry ones.”
Dello said a persistent
blob of unusually warm
water closer by in the North
Paciic contributes to the
Climate Prediction Center’s
forecast of “above normal”
temperatures from October
to December across the
Northwest.
“The
skiers
were
super-excited when the La
Nina Watch was irst posted
because it tends to mean
big, cold winters with big
snowfalls here,” Dello said
in an interview. “They might
be a little bit bummed at
this outlook, but like I said,
anything goes.”
“We could get a big snow-
fall in a ‘neutral’ year,” she
added. “That warmer than
Investing is about

normal temperature outlook
though is a little concerning.”
The National Weather
Service’s
three-month
outlook also contains a higher
probability of above-average
precipitation across northern
Washington and Idaho.
University of Wash-
ington
Professor
of
Atmospheric Sciences Cliff
Mass observed that neutral
winters carry some risk of
unusual or severe weather.
“The biggest windstorms,
strongest atmospheric rivers
and largest snowstorms tend
to like neutral years,” Mass
wrote in an email. “These
are infrequent events, but
when they happen, major
problems occur.”
Mass predicted if the
current outlook pans out,
water supplies “should be
average for next summer.”
The federal Climate
Prediction Center assigned
a 55 to 60 percent chance
for neutral conditions in
the equatorial Paciic to last
through fall and winter.
