I looked outside this morning. Yep, still white. I turned on the news. Yep, still cold, still crappy bus service (though that’s no fault of Tri-Met!), and the thaw’s not due until almost quitting time.
For grins and chuckles I took my camera outside. What surprised me wasn’t how white everything looked, but how well I was able to stand on top of the snow. I felt a bit like Legolas in FotR. Can you say, “solid layer of ice atop five inches of snow”? I knew you could.
By the way, pictures are forthcoming. I just have to wait for my camera battery to recharge. I knew I forgot something important yesterday… and where the hell is my spare? Argh.
UPDATE: Spare battery found. Here are some new pictures. More to come, probably…

Nope, definitely not just you. It’s that knack of gingerly walking outside whilst not falling on one’s bottom in this mess.
Same at my place. I had to jump up and down to break through. The Little Black Beastie, however, was able to chew his way down the road with chains, so let me know if you folks need anything at Quackers Keep.
