Tire Cables FTW

BTW I was up in NorCal almost to oregon on the 5 earlier this year and went through some nasty rains that just dump water...luckily no stupid drivers around me that don't know how to handle a car in rain. Nobody where I live would have survived...they just can't drive in rain.

We're supposed to have freezing rain tonight, as long as we don't lose power I'll be ok.

It's so nice to see the snow but I'm just glad we haven't lost power.

I experienced a similar situation on 5 near Mt. Shasta years ago. Driving in the ice and snow sucks.

:( This sucks, I am now stuck in my hotel room :(
Stupid weather...
Edit: they just announced on the radio that most of the freeways in Portland are now closed.
:( Good thing I got most of the errands i needed ran done today before it started.

Yep, ugly today. I got about 1" of dry snow on the ground at my house, and now it's freezing rain on top of it. Cold wouldn't be so bad except for that damn bone-chilling 30mph east wind straight out of the gorge we've had the last few days.
