Portland braces for another round of deadly snow
The brutal winter we've had -- it just. Will. Not. Let. Up.
The weather forecasters say it may snow yet again tonight in Portlandia. Bone-weary of the harsh dustings and treacherous traces they have endured so far, the city's residents are huddled together in prayer, hoping against hope that this new Arctic blast will pass us by.
The City of Portland has both its snow plows operational, and they will be springing into action tomorrow no later than 10 a.m. Just to be on the safe side, Tri-Met's bankruptcy lawyers have announced that they will be opening two hours late. The Portland public schools are withholding any announcement about closures and delays until 5:30 a.m., and in an emergency session to prepare for the brunt of the storm, the school board has sold Lincoln High School to Homer Williams.
At Jelled--When? Field, Portland Timbers fans are getting soaked, much like the city's taxpayers.

There's 3 1/2" on the ground in Bandon on the south coast. Love it.
Weather trifecta today: rain, wind and now snow.

Meanwhile, we've stolen Portland's weather for the day. We'll give it back when we're done luxuriating. (You guys go nuts on the occasional sunny day. We have reason to celebrate on those few days when the big yellow hurty thing in the sky is blocked by clouds.)

By the way, Jack, you had me going for a second about Lincoln High. That said, I wouldn't be surprised for a second that this is exactly how the deal would go down. "We had no choice, you see. It was either sell off the school, or we'd have to start eating each other."
