Snow in Portland

Snow always seems to cause a huge stir around here (which never ceases to amuse me). I can understand when the roads are sheets of ice... but, seriously, down in town in the lower elevations, it didn't even collect.


And it seemed to people to be an even bigger deal this time around because it happened during spring break. But it just flurried around in the air for an hour or two. I guess people are ready for warm weather and sunshine.

Here are some random converstations I heard around the office and on the radio:

"It never snows this late in the year!"

"Well, I remember back in '58, we had a lot of snow in the spring...a lot more than this..."

"SNNNOOOWWW!!! Soooo fun!!"

"Isn't this weather just crazy!" said disdainfully. "I want a real spring."

"Oh, I had to get out and drive in it!!"
