Now this is getting ridiculous


I mean, the ornamental 2" we had for most of the week has now mushroomed into 14"!


Our city is paralyzed...Portland is just not a snow kind of place. Yeah, sure, about half the population owns snow chains (so they can go skiing in the mountains), but that's it. And there's nowhere near enough plows, sanding trucks, etc.


Ick.

Closing school

People in Oregon are snow wimps. Seriously.



My kids have been out of school for FIVE days (all week) for 3" tops:




Come on. 85% of the student population walks to school here! And you know all us parents have been trudging in to work all week. Insane.


Of course, the best part is that our lovely snow will turn to cold rain come Christmas. Figures.
