Climate

Glad I was able to toy with simple .pdf edits! Here we go....
   Looks like The Dalles is dominated by cold needleleaf forrest & coastal forest. Although, just a glance to its left is semi-desert. It explains the fact that there's so many pine trees, its snowy winters that it shares with Washington's northwest.


Here's a chart of their annual averages courtesy of usclimatedata.com

  LOTS of precipitation during the winter. While my family in The Dalles does claim that it begins to rain plenty during the month of November, it increases during December and January. These past few years, strong snow blizzards and storms have occurred during the winter, a head-scratcher in terms of non-average weather occurrences and possible climate change.
