On this day, November 27, 1941, Jefferson seceded from Oregon and California. Jefferson was the winning name for a new state made of California's northern Siskiyou, Del Norte and Trinity counties along with Oregon's southern Curray County. California's Gov. Culbert L. Olson was soon informed that until roads were repaired, Jefferson would be forced to rebel every Thursday. In 2008 calls for a Jefferson state gained steam and included an additional 5 counties in southern Oregon and 2 more in northern California.

Also on this day, November 27, 2009, in China Justin Franchi Solondz, an American man wanted in the US on terrorism charges, was sentenced in Dali city, Yunnan province, for making illegal drugs. The FBI office in Seattle listed Solondz among its "most wanted." Charges in 2006 related to his alleged role in 2001 with the Earth Liberation Front. Solondz was accused of having a role in the destruction of a horticulture center at the University of Washington, as well as the destruction of several buildings in Oregon.

Portland Sees Record Low Temps
No break in climate change legislation is expected.

Portland, Oregon and the surrounding area saw record low temperatures this morning, getting down to an unseasonably cold 29° F, but a a far cry from the -29° F reported in Montana. Ironically, the Columbia River Gorge did not reach freezing because of the East Wind. Eugene even had Portland beat with a frosty 23° F this morning.

Noted climate realist, Dr. Gordon Fulks commented "I think that we can safely blame the Canadians or Mother Nature, not Global Warming, for the frigid morning."

Here is the official Record Report from Clinton Rockey at the National Weather Service:
