So you may have heard... we got pummeled with snow for over a week. It was nuts. Having moved from Montana, we were totally excited to have some fluffy white stuff for Christmas. It always makes the holiday genuine. Well, after a day or two the inches really started stacking up and then we realized, Western Oregon is ill-equipped with snow plows. None of the neighborhood streets saw a plow for the duration of "Arctic Blast 2008". It was less than a foot, but when the temp isn't super low, the snow turns into something between mashed potatoes and wet cement. No matter who you were or what you were driving, you were struggling to get around. It's sad to say, but we've never been so glad to see the rain...
(Thanks to our friends who came into town before Christmas and had to deal with PDX being shut down for 24 hours while they waited to get home for the holiday.)
