[QUOTE="soberups, post: 449890, member: 14668"] Well it went from bad to worse. There is 9" of snow on the ground, and now we are getting freezing rain. There is an inch of ice on top of the snow. The city I live in does not own a snowplow. The county I live in owns 2 of them and they hit the main highways only. The best that the road crews around here are able to do is to drop gravel on top of the snow on a few of the hilly spots. I went outside to shovel snow off of my walkway, the first time in several years that it has even been necessary. It is an effort to even walk around without falling. Every surface is coated with solid ice. I cannot even begin to wrap my head around what work will be like tomorrow or how it will even be possible to function in a package car. Of course, we may not have much new volume. I-84 thru the Columbia River gorge is closed. 18, 6 and 26 over to the coast are all closed. Chains or traction tires are required on all roads and streets, for those who even want to try driving. Snow events here usually consist of a couple of inches that melt in a day or two. Everything gets white and pretty, the kids get a day off from school, and a handful of my rural customers have to wait an extra day to get their packages. No big deal. This, however, is a freaking disaster.:whiteflag: [/QUOTE]
