Portland Winter Dump '08

Eight inches of snow has fallen in the last two days - unbelievable! Before I moved to PDX, I asked some friends who've lived here for 8+ years if it ever snows. "Maybe once a year, like half an inch, but it won't stick" they said. I guess they didn't see this coming...

Mt. Hood

I took a much-needed drive up into the mountains on Monday. It was perfect: cold mountain air, fresh falling snow, a nice hike through some big forest ... perfect.
