As you may be aware, it hardly ever snows in Portland. We maybe get 1 or 2 snows a year and it's usually just a dusting that melts right away or doesn't stick. Today is one of those rare snows that sticks and accumulates and is supposed to continue all through the day. Then, it's supposed to get really cold (for Portland), down into the teens and twenties for the rest of the week, which means the snow will probably stick around for a while. This is good and bad: good because it's fun and bad because we'll probably be snowed in for a few days. We live at the bottom of a hill in a residential area, so it's not a priority for the snow plows to clear it.
Chew and Ben are really enjoying the snow.
I keep checking on Chew to see if he wants to come inside, but he ignores me and keeps playing. It's nice to see him having fun. Ben is having the time of his life, too, barking at anything that moves.
Mick and I are relaxing, taking a forced day off from Mick's new fish and chip restaurant. We're watching the local news, laughing at all the idiots that are spun out on the freeways. The city is now requiring chains on all cars, but that doesn't seem to be helping, as most people are out there without them or causing problems by pulling over on the freeway to chain up.
