Let It Melt, Let It Melt, Let It Melt…

by Betsy Richter

Believe it or not, the snowplows out there a few weeks ago actually shoved snow around. In fact, they’ve created two huge undulating snow slug trails in inner SE Portland just west of Water Street & north of the Hawthorne Bridge. (Both SE Main and SE Salmon near the OMSI overflow lots have [...]

A River Runs Through It

by Cosmic Charlie

WTF? I mean, really. WTF?
I’m heading for the bus last night around midnight. It’s raining in glorious Oregon fashion, but I’ve got an umbrella and sensible shoes, so no worries. I’m listening to Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here on the personal sound system, having flashbacks of being at the coast during a winter storm. [...]

Which is funny because we were actually out with some other crazies downtown on Saturday where we ran down the middle of Burnside in the snow at 10pm because… there was very little traffic! That’s not the point. Something about all this snow makes one feel like there’s no escape!
Well, [...]

See? We told you it was bad.

by PAgent

When it comes to snow, Portlanders don’t get much respect. No matter how screwed up our traffic gets, or how icy it might become, we all know folks from the east coast or the midwest that sniff and say “We get that much snow every winter, and OUR cities don’t shut down.”
Well, you can shut [...]

Things to do to keep you from going crazy (if you aren’t already)

by A. L. Venable

If you’re like me and haven’t been outside in a few days, chances are you’re starting to get a bit restless. In some ways, I’m fortunate in that I live alone and don’t have any pets. That said, it also means I’m responsible for keeping myself entertained.
Here are a few things I’ve done over [...]

I know I spent all my waking hours in the basement of my work Saturday, but I was following Twitter.
No one told me we got enough snow for snowmen.
