Beautiful place etrain. Wildlife! Towhee, Scrub Jay, Varied Thrush, Bushy Tail Tree Rat. Looks like you had about 1/3 of the snow we got here, just south of the PDX.
After shoveling a path out to the car, a path on the deck to get to the wood pile and humming bird feeder, and a spot on the the front lawn for the birds food/water, I figure the piles won't be completely gone 'till mid/late February!
Portland.
Just another weird day in Portland...A man on a unicycle playing the bagpipes whist shoveling snow?
You're a real Portlander when you don't even raise an eyebrow.
12 inches in Forest Grove. Doesn't look like I'm going to work - as AAA is on full on emergency freak out mode - they are not taking calls for service except winch outs and emergency tows (wrecks, disabled vehicles on the highway/major streets - if you're at home and the car won't start or your tire is flat, you're not getting a truck today)
Glad I'm not driving a tow truck anymore. This is the weather I absolutely hated working in - between getting wet and cold, plodding along at 15-20mph on chains trying not to kill anyone, and dodging stupid people when outside the truck - naah, it wasn't really worth it.
I never understood the need for AAA.
I have some chains for my muck boots. They are little pieces of kids new like pipe split into points.A regular Bear Grylls here, I walk down my hill to the highway and take Trimet to work downtown when it gets icy and people abandon their cars all over my street.
But my hill is super steep and I get sore shoulders from flailing my arms like a windmill when I slip and slide on solid ice. (And what if I fall and break the iPhone in my hip pocket? What then???)
Seriously, my sweetheart wants to get us some cheap overshoe traction cleats for tromping on ice. She knows people who swear by them. Anyone here have any experience with these?
