In Oregon, everything stops when there is a hint of a winter storm. The media outlets love it when there is the threat of a storm. They provide “award winning” continuous coverage. They do crazy things like name the storms. They haven’t named this one yet, but I am sure it will be the “Big Chill of 2010!” It pretty crazy.
The kids were hoping for lots of snow. They even wore their pajamas wrong side out because that is supposed to make it snow. It didn’t snow much.
We barely received about a 1/2 inch of snow over night and then the temperatures dropped. As a result, the roads were a bit icy, so Sherwood cancelled school for the day. Just makes for a longer Thanksgiving vacation for the kids. No complaints here.
I started to drive to work and when I was just outside of Sherwood, this Chevy Blazer in front of me started to spin out of control. It did nearly two 360 degree spins and then it ended up on the curb. Amazingly, the driver had one hand on the wheel and a cup of coffee in the other hand. She didn’t even drop the coffee cup. I then returned to Sherwood and took the bus to work today. I just don’t trust the other drivers out there.
