    Supposed to drive to Vancouver today over the 205 bridge to see the inlaws for Christmas Eve. Still looking frozen out there.

    So they pay you on commission only? That explains being out at 2 am with a garden hose on the sidewalk!

    Roads aren’t too bad in Hillsboro/Beaverton area. Drive carefully, take turns slow and you’re good.

    just made my way from bend to portland metro. had to spend an extra night in the mountains to avoid the ice, but even then... what a mess today.

    so damn tired of slipping around-- this kinda shit so rarely happened anywhere else I've been where it snows much more frequently. And i feel especially vulnerable after having had two surgeries on my knee the past 7 months.

    a bit of rusting underneath the cars is nothing compared to broken bones in the ice. weird ass priorities in this state.

    salt the damn roads.

    a woman died when her car hit a tree after sliding around on the ice yesterday near Sisters. absolutely reckless handling of the snow/ice by ODOT.

    My in-laws came down to Eugene from Bend on Thursday to avoid the ice conditions...turns out it was a smart move. I won't drive on the ice for any reason anymore.

    i had already changed my schedule as much as i could but had to make it to PDX this week unfortunately.

    the rest areas on I-5 were a freaking ice rink today. Just awful how even the smallest winter event turns this whole state to an all out apocalypse.

    i understood the lack of resources to handle these events earlier because it was... so rare. but climate change has been very noticeable over the past few in this area. we get snow/ice/freezing rain frequently now, to the point where ODOT needs to use all the resources they can these days.

    I never understood ODOT in the winter....I grew up in Iowa where they salt the roads and clear your driveway or nobody would get to school or work all winter. Here it snows 2 inches and they close school.

    You know, the nearer your destination

    It’s 102 degrees Down Under, and looking to be even hotter tomorrow.

    It’s a dry heat, so it’s not too bad. I hate any kind of humidity though. Got to 106 today.

    It's a real gusty bitch out there today. Hopefully nobody loses power.
