    You guys up north crack me up.You talk about 20 degree weather as if its chilly.We have a cold front coming down from the north today, supposed to get down to 25 or so and the locals are in a panic.I spent all yesterday delivering wood and walmart is jamb packed with folks trying to find space heaters.
    I wonder what the heck these folks did back when we hit a record low of minus 15?
    I grew up in the north, and accustom to cold weather,sure makes me laugh when I see folks around here bundled up because its 40 degrees out.

    More Clothes

    I am cold natured myself. When colder weather sets in I dress for the occasion . The guys I drink coffee with at McDonalds kid me about wearing a jacket when it is 60 degrees. "What are you gonna do when it really gets cold"?

    My reply is put on more clothes. and --- " I don't know how I am gonna die but I'm almost certain it ain't gonna be from freezing to death". hah

    I find it funny that if you guys get a inch of snow the whole state shuts down and everyone panics.

    Although some of those roads through the mountains might get a little scarry if they become covered in ice.

    It isn't the depth of the snow, it is the water content of the snow. We live in a wet, fairly mild climate here in the PNW (wet side of the Cascade Range)
    Our snow is not the nice dry fluffy stuff, it has the consistancy of concrete.
    Try skiing our ungroomed Cascade Concrete Powder and you'll understand. Add that gloppy snow to a bunch of immigrants (lots from S. Collyfonia) who moved here for "the mountain scenery" and it is a recipe for car wrecks.

    All the cars with all wheel drive seem to have compounded the problem. I once putted by wreck after wreck of 4 wheel drive vehicles, in my little 2 wheel drive pickup. All had passed me previously, and then wereup in the ditch. And OH MY, THE WIND HAS NOW PICKED UP AND i BETTER GO BATTEN THINGS DOWN.

    I have. Worked at a ski area when with everything calculated, it "felt" like -80. Every part of the body was covered with something. I loaded people on the chairlift. We wouldn't let people go up to the tippy top without facemasks. We set a record that year for the most days in the one digits or minus. It was miserable.

    Our power is flickering. We're having east winds right now.

    We got our first visible snow overnight, not even an inch, way overdue. So far a balmy winter. I actually would like colder temps because it is just about impossible to avoid overheating the house in this weather. We need a fire but even the smallest fire sends the temps to 75 or more, way too warm for my taste. Working outside is pretty comfortable though.

    The AWD Subaru is considered the Vermont state car, just about. I have never driven anything better in snow. Slowp - your Oregon experience ain't the vehicle's problem. It's the drivers.
