OK - this is getting ridiculous. This is our 3rd snow day in a row. 2 inches of the white stuff (on Monday) and the whole Portland metro shuts down. Granted, they don't have the hordes of snowplows to go out and plow all of the roads like they do in the Midwest, so they get the freeways clear, but people still have to get TO the freeways. There also was a layer of ice added in to the mix, but now it sounds like I'm making excuses... The forecast for today is for snow and freezing rain - I think we could have gotten to school OK today, but the getting home part would have been a bit more difficult. You're probably wondering why I would have a problem with 3 free days off to catch up on everything around the house. Well, our school district has already posted on its homepage that we WILL be making up these snow days in June by extending the school year into our precious summer. Bummer. Major bummer.
If you want to know what a true "arctic blast" looks like, check out my dad blowing snow (the 1st of 2 sessions of moving snow in the same day)
Ummm, my parent's little town of Longville, population 209 (or something), made the paper today...
Now really, Portlanders, take note. This is what you call a TRUE arctic blast.
