We usually try and stop that Arctic front at the border. At least you didn't get it as strong as Fort St. John. There the temperature dropped from -2C to -22C in less than 12 hours. Wind chill took the apparent temp. to -52.
At that point you have to stand on one leg when P'ing outdoors so you can kick over the icicles as it falls.

Looks like you actually got a touch more than we did. |

Here in Hermiston we have more snow than I have seen in the six years I have lived here. Up to 7" now and it is still coming down. Made a pass with the snow shovel at about 5" and it is already filling up again.
Most of my neighbors don't even own a snow shovel. They are out using brooms and rakes, but it is so wet and heavy, you can't make much progress. |

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | I live in Downtown Portland, no snow here.
But I work on the other side of "the Mountain", and I bet that they will have snow over there.
Whenever this stuff happens, it is wet and nasty where I get-up and get on the Light Rail.
But once I head west, I will come outta the tunnel and there will be snow.
It is supposed to snow more tonight.
I'm kinda looking forward to it.
(But tomorrow, I will probably be running around fixing people's furnaces....
That will make them Happy! :D ] |

We did have some freezing rain on Tuesday. I'd rather have the snow. |

Location: Central Massachusetts | OMA, no snow yet on the west side either. Maybe by tomorrow, but so far so clear on this side of the tunnel.
now about that furnace service! ;) half the time it works fine, the other half, 7 led flashes on the board after 3 gas ignitions, shuts down for an hour. gas looks good. thinking thermocouple/flame-sensor or logic board. woke up the other morning and it was 56 inside, brrrr!! |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I get some strange looks from people when they see me driving a Porsche in the snow, but, with proper tires, they do very well until it gets about 5 inches deep. Today I was watching a couple guys scraping snow off a sidewalk with squeegees, probably because they didn't have snow shovels. I noticed one of them was looking at me, probably wondering why I wasn't driving a truck. Both of us had to use what we had available. |
