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.

I just love snowy days when you can snuggle warm in bed and watch the fluffy flakes blanket the world outside.

Snow that sticks around more than a few hours is rare here on the #OregonCoast, but based on the forecast, I may be stuck on my hilltop for several days at least, maybe till next week. This will be a record for the 23-24 years I've lived here. (Picture taken well after midnight, but reflected light makes it look like day.) #Snowpocolypse #snow #ClimateCnange

Unfortunately stuck in my #homeoffice today, but at least I can enjoy the rare view of #bergen covered in #snow.
