BTW-has anyone heard from Suz?She lives about 100 miles south of me and they got more snow than we did.Suz did ya have to build an Igloo?Anyhoo-hope that she did'nt have some weather related tragedy. Smile

We have freezing temps moving in tonight-so that means black ice and more problems with these city folk when driving!

Yeah yeah got some record breaking snow (for this time of year) 6-10 inches. Earlier we had some 60+ mph winds then some dumptruck rainfall, but the snow was the one that did the damage. 7,000+ homes without power, trees down and roads closed. You would think the wind would get the trees prepared for weather but the snow broke their backs. I made out ok except for the first day of snow when I came home from work, after surviving the driving conditions (honestly it wasn't bad at all) I got home and was closing the door to my truck, for some reason I turned around to see if my seatbelt was going to retract, placed my hand on the cab and closed the door on my trigger finger. And the door latched. Never felt a thing and didn't notice it until I tried to walk away and found my arm being held back. Thank you, I didn't break my finger and I didn't lock the door. The door lock on the driver side doesn't unlock very easily. Anyway I got a very hurt finger, blood streaming out of it, but it's just bruised and a little swollen. I can still use all my joints too.

Hey TRBL I have a friend in Vancouver Wa. and she says it didn't even snow there. Seems like Portland got snow.

It is snowing so hard here right now and has for about 3 hours, that i can't hardly see across the street. I live on the edge of the city and there is an open area, no houses across the street, where deer and coyotes roam. It's like living in the country but not. Smile

Glad to hear you are ok-thought maybe you got caught in a blizzard or something!Portland only got "fairy dust"-fitting!Out in my area it came down and stayed.Even today the temps are above 60F and it still has'nt melted back.At least no flooding(yet). Shocked

you take care of yourself a little better Suz.... that was a lucky break not doing any serious damage. trigger finger of all things!!! tut tut.

Yes Suz, which finger?

I think it's one of the signs of getting old and getting to know that german guy, you start to forget these little things, even don't remember where you put them and leave them behind.
Now when they are firmly attached to the rest of your body, this has 1 big advantage: you don't have to search for them afterwards...

On the other end: such things help to meld the snow and it's less painfull in winter than in summer...
And don't forget to remember the lesson: next time call Jon when you want to close a door or check a seatbelt...
