Bob here,
Just wanted to share with all my fellow out of state team members a story of how I find humor in the Portland area. As I was watching the news on FRIDAY evening I had to laugh as this is what LED the braodcast.
"Potential snow storm Sunday evening into Monday morning"
keep in mind this was the POTENTIAL for snow 3 days into the future. Better shut down the city now just in case. It has subsequently been in the news every night since. Likely, if there is any snow, it will be called "Blizzard 2006" or something like that. Round the clock coverage will begin as the first flake of snow falls from the sky. Geeze.
From the KATU news desk: Updated 11/26/2006 6:00 pm
Snow showers will continue tonight and tomorrow for areas of the Columbia River Gorge from Cascade Locks east as cold air stays entrenched there. A snow advisory is posted for 1-6 more inches of snow in the next 24 hours.
Modified arctic air is moving into Northwest Oregon and Southwest Washington tonight. The snow level here in the metro area will drop to the higher hills above 500 feet. Expect about one inch of snow overnight... sticking mainly in the hills. Tomorrow, the snow level will hover at 500 feet.. as 1 to 3 inches is possible. Highs will be near 39 in Portland/Vancouver.
The Cascades Range is under a Winter Storm Warning tonight and tomorrow with another foot of snow possible.
