Cure for cabin fever

Nice pics Guth. Do you get snow in Portland?

I remember chokes lol. They went the way of kickstarters, points, condensers, drum brakes etc lol

We'll typically see snow here just a few times each winter, which is fine by me. It doesn't usually last for more than a day or so and then it's gone. If I want to play in the snow, I'll head up towards the mountains to do so.

Two weeks ago however, we received quite a few inches of the stuff along with some freezing rain. There was enough to overwhelm the amount of equipment on tap around here to deal with such conditions, and it added up over 4 days time. It didn't quite shut the city down, but things did come to a crawl. I remember back when I lived in Illinois, salt was used on the roads to melt the snow/ice. No salt here. Instead, when it really adds up like this last storm, they lay down gravel. Which is now all over the surface streets making for an "interesting" commute.
