My kids and I got our picture taken for the Oregonian while I was out pulling them on the sled:

Ohh that picture is really neat, gizi.

Friday morning when I was walking home from work we had about a half inch to an inch (milwaukie) there were a couple roads with no tire tracks or footprints at all..wish I would have had my camera on me because it was really cool looking.

I want to see snow on Christmas itself. We had a tiny bit last year..but I'd love to see everything white, since I've never actually had a white christmas.

I've heard the Portland Metro area is due to get 6 - 10 inches over the weekend... I think I am at about 2.5 inches right now.

Already I wish it were Spring!

T'Igor and I were supposed to fly out to the east coast tonight, but PDX canceled all flights after 4pm. And of course due to the holidays, finding another flight was a complete pain. We finagled our way onto a different flight leaving first thing Monday morning - provided the weather doesn't go sour again.

On a lighter note - even though I'm still not over whatever the heck this sickness is that I have, I absolutely love the snow and was very happy to go outside and drive around for a bit today with my kid. I wouldn't be surprised if by now Hillsboro has seen 5 inches just today...

I'm working a seasonal job running packages for UPS, i don't mind seeing the snow go away :P

Yeah, Allan.... you and Karyn can just take it all! I swear, I haven't seen multiple days of snow in a row like this in, something like 25 years. I think that last time I remember weather like this I was like 6 or 7, maybe.

We have between 6 and 10 inches here... with a nice layer of .25 to 1.5 inches of ice on top of it...  It is pretty and pretty slippery.  I was able to polar bear slide down a hill... it was awesome.

Its freezing rain on top of the snow now, looks like we're all in for a cold winter...

Post by: Zolotkey on December 21, 2008, 03:02:34 PM
Its been pretty bad at the airport. If the freezing rain stops I can see a few flights leaving tomorrow. The only bad thing is no planes are actually landing and none are really at the airport. The airport is open but, no planes to fly anyone anywhere. :P

come down to Springfield. We have no ice or snow. just a little rain here and there.  I feel bad for you guys that have to deal with the ice.  We have been watching news reports about it , and it looks awful.  Kyle are you going to fly out of the airport? or did you have to schedule again.

You're either really brave or totally crazy. Either way, good job. XD

Define brave and crazy?  :D
Title: Re: white christmas
Post by: sigmarue on December 22, 2008, 03:16:06 PM
Brave as in "I'm going to fly a Y-wing into the trench of the Death Star to give the main fighters a chance at that exhaust port"... and crazy as in "I'm going to fly this Y-wing into a sun. LET'S DO THIS."

I think crazy is more like it.

Hey does any one else who has played SW Battlefront II on hunt mode been picturing the wampas running around and pummeling people this week?

There's a costume idea for me... A Wampa!  At least it would keep me warm...
