In the meadow we can build a snowman

Looking out from the deck of bojack.org StormCenter 9000.2, we see snow -- snow! -- on the roofs of the neighbors' houses. And so if you're climbing up on the roof at any time in the next couple of hours, we urge you to exercise the utmost caution.

We need to send a big thank you to the Portland Department of Transportation, they must have worked all night with their 2 gravel trucks and the 1947 John Deere front end loader. All the snow has been removed from the Highways and byways. I just hope no snow removal fees will be added to my water bill.

"Slip, slidin' away" up here on Cooper Mountain in Beaverton. 4+ inches, and streets are snow-covered and packed.

Be sure to play your "Sound of Music" soundtrack over breakfast.

My dog enjoyed our slushy walk this AM. The scent of the local bunnies hung ever so faintly above the fallen snow.

So...Snowfall with accumulation on March 22. That's the latest snow accumulation at the valley floor in my memory, which, although it goes back to 1958, is not particularly accurate.

Anybody else remember snow accumulation this late?

1989. Wife and I had just moved in to our first home and the day before we had taken a nice sun filled walk through Mt. Tabor and the next morning Snowpocalyse.

I'm glad that I don't have to go anywhere today; people get outright crazy when disasters like this hit. I heard on the radio that there were at least 40 wrecks around the city, which is wholly believable.

And then there are the folks who chain up the rear wheels and can't go anywhere because the car is front-wheel drive....

12 inches on my carefully calibrated Hot Tub cover at midnight last night in Albany

I can remember equally heavy snow as late as the first week in June. But I was in Bavaria at the time.
