Subject: Re: Oregon mist



With just a day or so remaining in which to clear up questions in the

DARE entries I-O, I'm wondering if anyone knows the term "Oregon rain." It

can mean a light mist, or, ironically, a prolonged rain; we also have one

citation in which it means an "Idaho rain" (a dust storm). Is anyone

familiar with any of these senses? If so, when and where? Thanks in

advance.
