The TV people have started up the drumbeat, and the mayor has pulled his head out long enough to put his hat on, and so we must go on full alert. It might snow. Snow! You could die. Stock up on essentials and stay seated in front of your screen until the lights go out. This is continuing team coverage from bojack.org StormCenter 9000.2.
Their panic mongering and anxiety production is worse than just walking in a little winter pacific wonderland. What the flake is wrong with those tv & government servant people? They convert snow showers into a wintry mix (take a shot!) of photo ops, sound bites, public works dept chest-thumping, mental health crises, and consumer hoardfests.

Embarrassing.

Look at the bright side: Maybe the snow will fill in the potholes.
Posted by Bill McDonald | February 28, 2012 5:06 PM
Refill your glass whenever they say "wintery mix".

Can the hat flaps be pulled down far enough to cover his entire body?
Posted by umpire | February 28, 2012 5:43 PM
Thanks for activating the BOJACK STORM CENTER!
The only place I go for updates on the PORTLAND STATE OF EMERGENCY!
Posted by AL M | February 28, 2012 5:46 PM
Umpire, it's even easier that that: rotate the hat 90-degrees, cover his face and stuff the flap in his mouth. Hides the visage and muffles the noise.

You can be sure Jack that tomorrow the buses will all have chains running slow on bare pavement.
Posted by Rudie | February 28, 2012 6:19 PM
OMG, this will put TriMet another 1.5 million in the red.

Lets just declare it a snow day..
Posted by tankfixer | February 28, 2012 6:30 PM
Good one Bill. Portlandia ain't got nothin on Portland.
Posted by Gibby | February 28, 2012 6:38 PM
Shockingly enough my TriMet bus wasn't chained up doing 20 on I-5.

Mary Fletch: "Thank God we have something to talk to the press about besides guns, beat downs and stabbings on Max".
"Chains on..." (Clap, Clap)
"Chains off..." (Clap, Clap)
"The Claptrap"
One loaded Tri Met Bus with chains on dry pavement equals how many cars with studs?

Crossing the Sylvan overpass at 3:30 this afternoon, my wife called to tell me that a news truck was already in place!

When it comes to the worst weather in the world, it's really a tossup between the Straits of Magellan, and the Sylvan Overpass.
Posted by Bill McDonald | February 28, 2012 7:21 PM
When the weather gets bad, the governor gets up on the Cylvian Overpass.
Posted by Jack Bog | February 28, 2012 8:07 PM
Jack, does the gov put the plastic cover over his felt cowboy hat?
Posted by lw | February 28, 2012 8:25 PM
That was bad, Jack. How bad? I liked it. That should tell you plenty.
Posted by Max | February 28, 2012 9:34 PM
From the National Weather Service regarding this terrible impending doom: "Little or no snow accumulation expected." Dang it.
Posted by SKA | February 28, 2012 9:48 PM
That's usually a sign that it's going to stick.
Posted by Jack Bog | February 28, 2012 9:53 PM
"his felt cowboy hat"
Never heard it called that before!
Posted by L.O. Resident | February 28, 2012 11:09 PM
That guy wears a cowboy hat....
