I'm waiting for it to snow.  The local news guarantees us snow today.  Of course, if there was a drama award for news, the Portland stations would have it hands down.  They dig up every little bit of drama they can.  No matter how insignificant it is; to them it's a big, big deal.  Same with the local rag; all about the drama of Oregon. I have to read the NY Times to get any idea what's really going on.  Actually, now that I think about it the international news is pretty damned scary.  

You gotta love the people in Oregon.  The grocery stores are probably really busy with people stocking up.  I'm sure they think they are going to get snowed in.  The last time we had any significant snow was in 1968.  We had several feet, but the worst thing I remember happening was the mailman yelling at us for not shoveling our walk.  This time I think I can tunnel my way to Whole Foods which is 6 blocks away.  

Actually, I love the snow.  It's beautiful and it begs for snow angels.
