Weather Highlights Summer High: the July high is around 82 degrees Winter Low: the January low is 24 Rain: averages 11 inches of rain a year Snow: averages 21 inches of snow a year. Bend is growing--too fast with little regulation. The mountain foothills are filling with upper middle class yuppies. That's difficult, but it's because it's sucha desirable place to live! Great schools too!
