Here it is and getting 20"+ of snow.
My husband has been busy with snow removal and would like to see other pictures an I bet Rhonda has some to share with us too. And no, I am not getting my GT/CS out no time soon.

I feel a little bit guilty ...

Well, I feel a little bit guilty about posting these pictures for you, since our Christmas this year has been typical of Victoria. No snow, a bit of rain, and mild temperatures most of the time. A bit of light frost in the mornings (just enough to make me have to scrape off the windows of the truck before driving to work ...)
:embarass:
In fact it has been mild enough that our resident neighbourhood deer have still been frequenting our front yard for "breakfast" ... much to Laurie's annoyance. They keep eating all of her favorite plants!
:mad:

We've just had cold (5-25deg) temperatures and sporadic snow. Not enough yet to get excited about.

Winter in the Portland area can be amazing. Very little equipment for snow/ice removal like lots of you folks. Took our daughter and family to the airport 12-29 for their flight home to Salt Lake with a few white flakes in the air. As we left the parking garage at 3:40 pm for our 25 mile drive home the real SNOW AND ICE showed up. over 6 1/2 hours later 10:10 pm we made it home. Our daughter's flight had been delayed by 1 hour, but they still flew to SLC got their car from the parking lot and were home in bed by the time we had traveled the 25 miles home :(

Ok , I want to enclude this.....Mustangs in the winter time.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-V-wvdOnqI
and enclude these pics.
for your information we usually start then up every once in awhile and the 07 more often as was told this by the dealership, when you are storing them for long period of time like I do. I wouldn't disconnect the battery :icon_no:eek:n these, screws up the computer in them. I also put staybilt(spelling?) in a full tank when parking them. If the battery is low, as the fridged temprature will do numbers on the battery. my husband put a slow charge and this works. I don't cover as that will draw moister we found out, as my garage isn't heated.

I really enjoy seeing the pics of the snow. Much better than the constant rain in Seattle.

Powell, is that pic going west on 26 past the zoo? I lived on 170th in Aloha from '92-'94 While attending PCC in Hillsboro. We really like the area.

Hi Bret. The pic was on 405 just before it intersects with 84 near the Portand Airport.

Just remember that you do not have to scoop rain! I do know what you mean it is beautiful just wish it did not make it so hard to get around. Marty
