Yes, Portland, We Have Snow!

For you hardy types in New England (and in the Midwest, and in the Mountain West), it might seem inconceivable that this amount of snow would shut down the city but it has. Schools were out all week and many businesses closed. For those of us who are trying to smell the roses, this is a good thing. For those of us who commute down the stairs, this would be a bad thing! We don't plow (I'm not sure we own plows!), we don't use salt (yes, we're environment-friendly), mostly because it hardly ever snows in Portland. But we have had some snow every day this week and more is forecasted the coming week. Let it snow, let it snow...
