Snowed In

Portland is hilarious! It started snowing on Sunday, so I had Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday off work! The traffic crews weren't prepared and couldn't clear the roads. I live at the top of a massive hilltop neighborhood called "Mountain Park," so the only way to go anywhere was to go downhill. My tires are bald and the store was out of chains, so when I tried to go somewhere, I slid through two stop signs. In Nate's car we slid down a hill and had to pull the emergency break but still came within INCHES of hitting two cars. So I was literally snowed in for three days. The first day was fun to be home, the second day I was a little restless, and by the third day, I was anxious to get some fresh air! Nate only had Monday and Wednesday off because he takes the bus to work anyways. Today it is sunny, the roads are slushy, but there are still only about 4 people in my office. Portland has been making me laugh all week. Here are some pics from our snow days (I'm wearing about 3 pairs of pants to make up for my lack of ski pants)!
