The Blazers are on a bus right now headed to Eugene so they can fly out to Denver. According to Ch. 8 news.
 
Please let me know if the bus gets stuck and I'll head down to help them out :-)
 
Let's hope no more planes skid off the runway in Denver...
 
Will they have to fly back into Eugene or will PDX re-open by Monday night?
 
I seriously doubt the game on Tuesday is going to happen. Not only will be it very difficult for both teams to get into town, none of the fans will be able to get to the game.

Where did you hear that? I just checked weather.com and it said 2-4 inches over night.

I think the game will still go on. It was like this three years ago when we played Washington, and they played in front of about 2,000 fans if that. Just hope the guys stay safe, as with everybody else.

Well, if you are planning on driving up to Portland from Seattle, you will indeed be screwed.

Portland's mean elevation is 52 feet, Seattle is at sea level, so ... :dunno:

Portland, OR Latitude = 45°31'N

Seattle, WA Latitude = 47°37'N

My latitude trumps your altitude.

Besides, he said he was flying into SEA and driving up to PDX.

SEA Altitude = 429'

PDX Altitude = 27'

Um, Seattle ranges from 0' to 500', and latitude means nothing other than how the powers that be decided to place the globe. From outer space, our notions of north/south are irrelevant.

Seems like a nitpicky thing to call out a poster on, regardless.

Portland has a higher elevation than Seattle, so it literally is driving "up".

Depends on where you're at in Portland and Seattle. According to the USGS, elevations for Portland range from Sea Level to 1073'. Elevations for Seattle range from Sea Level to 520'.

But, this is all material. The OP was referring to a driving direction, not a change in elevation. Seattle is both north of Portland and SEA is at higher elevation than PDX. Either way you look at it, he will be driving DOWN to PDX from SEA.

As I told PapaG...

No game. Snowed in. Nothing else to do.

Well, the last one isn't totally true. I just spent the last hour and a half playing in the snow with my kids. It was fun. And, it's so quiet out there. No traffic. Nobody else out.

Where do you live. We've have an inch layer of ice here in Tualatin. My kids laughed when we skidded things across the "lawn" until they crashed, then they got sick of the freezing rain and the fun was over. :sigh:

Technically, we have a Beaverton address, but I can throw a rock in three directions (N,E,W) and hit Portland. We're north of 26 in the Bethany/Rock Creek area. We had a ton of powdery snow yesterday. It pretty much came down all day with about 6 - 8" of accumulation. Then we got a little freezing rain overnight that put a solid coating of ice about 3/8" thick on top of the snow, Then we got another 1" of fresh snow this afternoon. We've lived in the same house for almost 20 years and this is the deepest snow we've ever had in our yard.

We spent about an hour playing in the backyard and then took a walk to the park. No cars anywhere. The only other person we saw was a guy on a bike right as we got back home. It was eerily quite out and the white snow made it seem very bright even though it was 2 hours after sunset.
