    Does it snow in Portland, Oregon in December?

    Does it snow in Portland, Oregon?

    Yes. Yes. Yes. The heat is on, I’m draped in a green and white check scarf, and there’s snow all over the ground in Portland. Last year I missed it due to a trip back East, but this year I can confirm: it definitely snows in Portland, Oregon in December!

    PORTLAND WEATHER IN DECEMBER

    This video is the first snow of the 2016 Winter season, captured on 12/8/16. Usually in December and January. Since the Portland flood videos I shared on YouTube last year were popular, I’ve been taking Winter photos of Portland, Oregon to share with you…  

    The first snow of December 2016

    It accumulated quickly! In less than two hours I was able to make a little tiny snowman on a balcony in the Pearl District, which is in the NW area of PDX. There was a ton of wind, and his Oregon wine cork tree tipped over when I went to check on him….

    Make your own DIY MINI SNOWMAN

    Moving to Portland from San Francisco, this was the first snow I’ve seen in a while. So, naturally, I had to see if it would stick to make a snowman. I’m pretty happy with my little snow guy.

    Want your own?

    Here are tips to make your own DIY mini snowman with household items:

    • Eyes = whole peppercorns
    • Scarf = braided yarn (like a real scarf, right?)
    • Nose = carrot
    • Buttons = q-tips or whole peppercorns
    • Mittens = flowers
    • Hat = painted cotton ball (thanks for the tip on Facebook, Margaret!)
    • Tree = wine cork + Christmas tree branch
    • Garland = make your own garland with glue, circle punch outs, and string

    Pin this for later >

    The best part of snow? It means the Starbucks gingerbread latte is in season. The worst part of the snow? I don’t feel like walking to Starbucks in this weather! If you make a mini snowman, I’d love to check it out. Leave a link below or tag me on Instagram @sipbitego.

    Hope you enjoyed the photos and videos from NW Pearl District of PDX!

      My daughter just made a mini snowman the other day. We used to get 4ft in one night here in Colorado. But we have since moved to another town and the snow does not accumulate here very often. My kids now are used to the mini snowmen 🙂

      We got plenty of snow here since Thanksgiving Day! A lot more expected in the coming weeks. I love your mini DIY snowman. I know my son will love making. Keep yourself warm for this snowy winter.

      Aww I love snow! We had a little snow here in Michigan on Thursday. I am hoping we can have a white Christimas this year. I haven’t tried the Gingerbread Latte from Starbucks yet. I usually get the White Chocolate Mocha. I’m going to try the gingerbread drink now that I know it’s available.

      We only had a little bit of snow here in Ohio so far. My oldest was a bit disappointed we could not make a snowman. I had not thought of a mini one, we will try that next time!

      Look at the cute little snowman. People say this is the one time of year they miss snow if they live in a warm state. 🙂

      We had our first snow really early this year. Hoping this means that it will go away early too! LOL

      I am jealous to those people who lives in a place with snow since we live in a tropical country. Anyway, Oregon looks a great place to explore.

    My specialty is cooking restaurant style food at home. I love to cook for family, fun, creativity & self care.

    Where to start? Get my secrets to making pizza at home and feel like a true home chef with my sous vide recipes.

    jenna passaro prepping sous vide steak

    My story. Growing up, I didn’t learn to cook. And then in my 20’s I didn’t have to cook because my job involved a lot of travel and it was easier to eat out. At the time, I was 100% positive that restaurant food would always taste better than cooking at home, and there was nothing I could do about it.

    Until I fell in love with a chef. He would come over and cook me delicious meals right in my own kitchen. My mind was blown.

    Since then, I’ve been on a mission to figure out easy ways to make restaurant style food at home and share it here on Sip Bite Go.
