Yours are better than mine anyway. Wasn't that insane? My favorite part was watching channel 8. "What's going on at the Sylvan overpass?!? Hurry! The conditions may have changed from four minutes ago! Turn it back!" Did you get stuck in traffic on I-5 for the ice clean-up? I did. 5 hours.

lol this is one of the few times I've been happy my car is broken. Last thing I want is too be driving in this SLOP. The rattling of tire chains has been giving me a headache though! I can't imagine what it's been doing to the pavement. I moved here from Massachusetts 14 months ago. The thing that's been going through my head mostly is "I thought I was done with this crap!".

This is also one of the few times I regret not owning a TV! I missed all the hysteria!

Don't worry. You'll be in 50 degree rain forest paradise for the rest of the winter. That won't happen again in our lifetime. Enjoy it.

The next to the last photo (skyline at night) has got to be my favorite photo of all time.

Nice work. I never made it out to take pics in the city, but I have plenty from my neighborhood in Hillsboro. I'm glad to see people got around to take some photos of the city. The snow was pretty impressive... it reminded me of growing up in Connecticut.

I love the faux riverfront townhomes at Riverplace.
