The Dalles got a reminder that it is still winter when heavy wind-driven snow briefly created blizzard-like conditions before dawn Sunday morning on Sixth St. and Cherry Heights Rd, above, and throughout the area. A mix of snow and sun is forecast through Thursday.

Well protected from Tuesday afternoon’s mix of snow, rain and hail, Mike and Missy Dunagan of The Dalles walk along Washington Street downtown The Dalles. Wednesday’s forecast calls for more rain, with a steady mix of rain predicted throughout the region into the weekend.
