Snow DaysDecember 21st, 2008
Not enough words to describe the snow today. All the trite ones have been used – fluffy, drifting, winter wonderland, magical, and so on. The flakes were lazy, floaty, light appearing, but still heavier than air.
 Snow Fall, Sellwood Middle School Fields The snow fell. The fallen snow was greater than a dusting, and while there were white-out conditions in the Gorge, I don’t think it could be classified as a blizzard – at least not by mid-west standards. The trees are more than frosted, flocked. Walking leaves a crunch that lingers in hat covered ears. Chained tires roll past the walkers with off-key notes of worry. Sidewalks have disappeared and skis and sleds have claimed the side streets. There are drawbacks, there always are when Lady Nature throws a loop at us. Planned life was interrupted, days and nights disrupted. People who were traveling for the holidays are now sleeping in the airport. Roads and ramps closed, parties cancelled, and the Christmas Ships won’t parade the Willamette on their last two nights to shine. Freezing rain is next on the weather agenda. Portland will stay shut down a short while longer. photo by Alex Stewart |
