We don't get much snow in Vancouver, Washington. Most winters go by with none. That was not the case this December. We set a local record with 12" of white stuff this month and the first true white Christmas in over a hundred years. Here's a picture of downtown Vancouver three days before Christmas. It wasn't tough to get around except on Christmas and the day after when the previously well-packed snow on the side roads softened up so much that, as one of my co-workers described it, it was like "driving on butter." Wheel ruts went all the way to the road, but the front of a low car like mine had to push the snow in front of it. Vancouver needs to buy a plow and learn how to use it.

Looks like the streets of G-town. Glad I had 70 today! It will be hard to go back to snow. I bet you are loving it.
The tern is back with snow on his wings! I have heard horror stories about people traveling your way this holiday season as in 48 hour airplane trips from Nebraska to Oregon!
The rains are back and have eliminated all the snow that wasn't piled in the corners of parking lots by plows. The Portland Airport did practically shut down from December 20 through December 24 due to snow. Fortunately, A arrived on December 16!
