Our power is back (for the moment). Wind is gusting up to 44MPH and instead of snow we’ve got ice pellets.
Two large trees are down, blocking the main road serving our neighborhood. The stand of trees is now precarious AF, could take it several lines if another tree falls. I’ve called it in to the bureau of transportation and they’ve dispatched an emergency arborist.
For now power lines are ok, but the trees in the small stand at the left of the picture are now shallowly rooted in soil that’s already seen one tree uprooted.

I think we’re getting a mix of snow and ice.
Folks who laugh at #Portland completely losing all coherence during a winter storm event fail to understand that it is rarely _just snow_. We get snow, ice, and often a little warmth to turn it to inches of solid ice. If it were snow alone it wouldn’t be as bad.
We also don’t have a large fleet of plows because it wouldn’t be financially sustainable to maintain vehicles that maybe will get used for one event a year. Combine that with a very hilly metro area and tons of trees and you get a #Snowpocolypse.
I grew up here and every once in a while a serious winter storm shut everything down for days on end. I can recall one winter as a kid where we were without power for over a week. It was wretched.

Welp, there goes our power. Why yes, it is 18F and snow is blowing sideways.
