SNOW!

We had snow yesterday. In & around PDX as they call Portland here, there was tons of snow. More than they've seen in YEARS! Roads on Thursday & Friday were closed around the mountains, but yesterday morn, they closed some roads around downtown.
Yet the skiers & snowboarders were headed to Mt Hood in record numbers...slowly making their way up the mountain. They've never had this much fresh powder & they think the season will be open until April! BUT the when the warmer weather comes there may be flooding, serious flooding!
The dogs loved it...but sadly it turned to freezing rain & another wet dog walk. BUT they're calling for more, so I hope to see snow today.
I plan to do this Komen race in late February-"Stomp the Cure for Breast Cancer". It's up on Mt Hood, it's a 3k in snowshoes! Fun! And a friend & I have a snowboard excursion planned late Feb. as well.
Lastly, the above pictures are actually from the trip going from Wyoming into Utah. But our mountains here look very much the same & these reminded me of the snowfall yesterday morn.
