Hola Chris, Eric, All,
Well, I would think that it would be all the more difficult due to the
snow on the ground; assuming that the fireball didn't terminate over
cleared land, the general Area (Northern Oregon to Southern
Washington, at elevations of ~2,000 ft+) are currently under two to
four feet of snow.
Good hunting?....by the sound of it, not until early summer, at best...
Regards,
Jason
