OT: It's Snowing in SE P-Town

[Sug]

You guys better get your supplies, my wife just made the comment "I don't know it is only going to get colder!"

As you can see we are already getting a decent amount of snow.

 

[Sug]

That usually only happens when we get hit with an ice-storm

I agree
Ice storms are different, and people get to the store for good reason.

Multiply that by 19 and you get last winter's snowfall. It can get a little crazy some years. Well, crazy for Portland standards.

Last year was beyond crazy. I've lived here my whole life and I'd NEVER seen a series of winter storms like that. It was worse than the storms of '90 and '79 by a long shot.

There was a huge blizzard here in 1978 that completely shut down the area for weeks. Ever since then, every time the weathermen mention the word "snow", people go buy enough food for like 2 weeks. The supermarket will have 20 registers open and each one has a line of 10 people. The funny thing is, there hasn't been one storm since that one where you couldn't drive on the roads the day after.

Well shit......... I'm off to COSTCO to buy a case of rubbers and some relish!

 

[mrkorb]

Really picking now around Wash Sq. Big flakes, whereas an hour ago it was like wimpy little ice clusters. Can still see lines in the parking lot through the stuff on the ground.

Why do you store your relish in rubbers? Are you going to mule them into some country where relish is illegal?

HCP stands for condominante relish mule.

Looks like it's all done!

 

[Rodolfo]

Looks like it's going continue until 7pm or so. If it doesn't warm up, we'll get at least an inch.

It is now snowing heavy again in SE, but who knows this is Portland. We might have the worst news weather people in the world.

 

[THE HCP]

I love it, but I'm sure it will be gone by later tonight!

 

[RoyToy]

KGW is saying up to 3 inches tonight.

Time to go find an empty parking lot.

 

[THE HCP]

Off to pick up my daughter from pre-school! Time to test out the new Audi all-wheel drive. Wish me luck!

 

[THE HCP]

I better wear my helmet!

We average a bit over 75 inches per year at my home here in Beautiful Central Oregon.

33 IPY in Bend.

[44Thrilla]

My guess would be Buffalo

 

[THE HCP]

I tried Germantown road at 4 pm today...my 4 wheel drive truck is still up there...in between piles of wrecked cars... the road in front of me and behind me ended up getting blocked by cars that couldn't move...so I walked the 4 miles home rather than watch the idiots continue to get stuck...

My kid was at zoo camp, so I had to go get her. Me, in my antique, RWD BMW with open diff got around without a problem around all the people that had no idea what they were doing in their fancy SUVs and AWD cars. The wife was smart enough to realize that she was out of her element as well, so she parked the Subaru downtown and took the Max, so I just had to go to Sunset TC to pick her up.

I love driving in the snow. Years of rally competition really help, I guess.
