I love the cold. That’s one of the best thing about living in the North West, but this snow has to go. Most of the time it snows and melts when it hits the ground. At the most it’ll stick on the ground for a couple of hours, but for the last week of so it has been cold and windy. We have snow on top of ice, on top of snow, on top of ice, on top of snow, ect… Makes for sucky driving conditions.

This resent storm has broken the record for most snow fall in the month of December in Portland, OR. Crazy! We’re on track to break the record for most snowfall in one winter season.

Thanks to this lovely storm… I’ll be at work for a 12 hour shift. There are 60,000 customer’s with out power and I am helping train employees from other departments to take calls from customers, and I’m taking calls in between trainings. I came in yesterday to train some meter readers to take calls yesterday too. I’ll have some crazy overtime on my pay check. I guess that’s nice.

Here are some photos.

My work’s parking lot with a little snow a few days ago.

This is the parking lot this morning

Snow piled up on the tables outside.

Patricia emailed me some photos of Molly and Jade playing in the snow this morning. I’m glad someone is enjoying the snow.
