Yehahh! Don't have to go to work till Friday and East County has had 2 1/2" in the last three hours. That gonna give me a good excuse to stay shop bound the next few days.

I thought it was spring time already, we got 47 deg today and pushing 50 by the weekend. Does that mean we will see **** in Ohio again soon? I was really hoping we had seen the last of the white stuff till next winter. I already put away my **** shovel and put away the **** blower too. Guess I'll have to brake out the **** scraper and **** boots and get ready for more fun in the ****!

Here on the valley floor, people get as excited over a little snow as Southern Californians do over a little rain. If your looking for a good deal on a four wheel drive rig, just check the ads in the Oregonian come march.

Hi all and prime, Well I kinda live in the banana belt here ,we didn't get hardly any snow untill last nite, then it was just enough to cover the ground, but thats fine with me, Bill

Hey Prime,

I live in McMinnville -- we got a bunch of snow too! Now it seems to be raining again though, so we might head to the coast range and see what's going up there today!

This has to be the first time the snow has kept for more than one day in a long time... it's funny though - all the ice that came last night and the night before had everybody all over the place. You see - it's like when the sun comes out here, everybody get's so excited that they forget how to drive!

it's a winter wonderland

Bill -watching the news last night, Id'a figured you'd be shoveling your way out the house this morning! We've got about 3 inches on the ground out where I live. We might get some more tonight but I doubt it'll last. The freezing rain is what bothers us out east county more then anything.

Walked out to the Geerage this morning and a neighbor kid got me with a snow ball. They're havin' a ball on the hill out front. Ah, to be young again.

I've never paid attention before, but is snow in the PNW rare?

No not really, but here in Portland, if it hangs around for any length of time, it's news worthy. Freezing rain is more common then the white stuff here at the mouth of the Columbia Gorge.

The West Hills see a whole lot more snow then we do down here.

68Impala - yeah, my Brother lives in Newburg and he said they got a nice blast of the white stuff too. One of the guys at work lives in Salem. It took him 3 hrs to get to work the other day. He said a Fedex truck got stuck in his front yard and blocked his drive way for an hour.

I gotta say, I was in Seattle for the New Years celebration/hangover and couldn't believe my eyes when I got home to P-town. Glad we had chains, as I-5 was a disaster from about Longview to Portland! People are funny when they drive in snow here. hahahahaha!

GM - ya sure got that right! Wait till you see 'em do the "freezing rain waltz." Monday's the day we might see a little of that.
I think most of the comuters up here are California transplants. They drive like they've never seen the white stuff before.. Kind of a comedy of error. It ain't so funny though, if your stuck in the middle of it all. For lack of a better explaination, I'll simply call it a rush hour destruction derby.
