Winter in Portland

One of the things I love about Portland is that the winters are very mild, well not this year. I'd invested in some serious winter boots before we left for Montana, and I've needed them as much in Portland as I did in MT. We made it back Friday night and managed to get a few errands done before things really started storming.

Portland has very few plows so the whole city basically shuts down when it snows. My office was closed today and is on delay for tomorrow. I'm thinking about taking the whole week off since it's a short week with the holiday.

Sadie had her first experience with snow, and she's had fun exploring. We took her to a local park and let her run off leash in the snow. She got the hang of it, but also wiped out a few times.

Here's a picture of her in full speed action:

Here's some video of her in action. Only the first half is interesting:



Our neighborhood, we've got 8 inches on the ground.
