While there's potential for inches of snow for the lowlands, it's more like FEET of snow for the Cascades over the next few days.

An Arctic front is on its way to the forecast area. Data still point to Monday having the lowest snow levels of the winter. We've issued Winter Storm Watches for portions of the forecast area, and you can check them out at weather.gov/medford.

North Umpqua River shared Umpqua's Last Resort's post.
Several people have shown interest in joining us for a future "Keep the Umpqua Clean" event. This Wednesday, January 23rd we will head out again to empty/pick up trash at the Toketee Falls, Watson Falls, and Umpqua Hot Springs trailheads. The plan is to meet at the Umpqua's Last Resort office for coffee & hot cocoa at 10:00am, then head out to the trailheads from there. Anyone is welcome to attend and enjoy the day caring for the forest. The weather next week looks perfect for doing just that! We have trash bags, rubber gloves, and will haul the trash away in our own vehicles. You will want to dress warm, and bring your lunch or a snack. We are also running great RV/lodging specials if you wish to stay a while before heading home. For more information, please call one of our friendly Camp Hosts at 541-498-2500.
