Storm update: Nothing's different from an hour ago

The snow that fell on Portland earlier today remains on the ground at this hour. Repeat: Remains on the ground at this hour. Temperatures are below freezing, which makes it unlikely that the snow and ice will melt unless temperatures rise.

Remain calm. Remain in your home. Do not go outside for any reason, for a cruel fate awaits you there. And please, no plastic bags in the blue recycling bins. Stay tuned to bojack.org Storm Center 9000 for further updates all night long.

Think Sublimation

I remember having to cart warm water out to a couple dozen cows on days like these. I was a teen then.

Maybe you could post notices from the few remaining old folks in our not-yet-fully suburbanized periphery that could use a hand with their farm animals. If they keep any it is only for nostalgic reasons, of days gone by.

Any volunteerism would make for lasting memories for all involved. We are, after all, hardy souls.
