When my partner had to move for labor I wasn’t satisfied that Portland Oregon was our current endpoint.
I went from a lovely southern house to a city apartment! What did I guess about Oregon too? Absolutely nothing. I quickly figured out the weather in Portland is much peculiar than what I was used to, then down south the cold came for maybe two weeks. It never got below freezing. I had never seen snow or ice before in my life, however the rest of the time the weather was gorgeous, sunny, pool gathering weather… Portland, Or has the benefit of not getting freezing cold like most northern states. In fact it doesn’t get below freezing. However, Portland weather doesn’t get any higher than 76 degrees. I was looking at cool to moderately warm weather basically all year around. I wasn’t sure how I felt about it, and now that I live in Oregon, it is a nice change of pace. I like that I am not dripping with sweat through my outfit the moment I step outdoors. It is kind of nice having 1 wardbode that I wear all year. I like that I can really bike around to my favorite stores like grocery stores, cannabis dispensaries and local diners. The weather is just perfect for a bike ride. I clip on my bike bag so I can store any fun purchases like pretzel bread, cannabis oil or flower, and take out. I never am too warm during my bike ride, but a jacket and the light breeze is just perfect when it comes to running errands.
