I’m not sure what is going on this year but Oregon is getting dumped on with snow. Since mid November we’ve had an amazing year so far and this week the snow actually lowered down to the valley and Portland. We got about 2 inches of snow on the ground and of course all the news outlets began calling it snowpacalypse! Ha! If only everyone had grown up on the East Coast driving threw blizzards they’d realize how sill it was. Unfortunately, there are a lot of bad drivers out here and when combined with the fact that Oregon doesn’t salt the roads it ended up creating a 4 hour drive home for Emily who only works 20 minutes away now! She left work at 5pm and didn’t get home till after 9pm!
The day after it snowed beautifully over the city the snow turned to freezing rain. Emily somehow still drove to work but by the time Leo and I got up the whole neighborhood had turned into a skating rink! I took him out for a walk and was able to run and slide down the entire icy sidewalk. Our driveway was a sheet of ice except for where the Prius had been and our new backyard was completely covered in icicles! Leo even had a hard time walking down the sidewalk on his morning walk. Thankfully, a few days later everything was melted and back to normal but for those few days the whole city came to a stand still!
