I’m sitting at in the front of Chapters Books and Coffee watching the traffic back up. The barista just said she feels like going out and telling people to not even try it. “Just come in and have some coffee.”

We got snow last night and everyone headed toward the Portland metro area has to go up Rex Hill just outside of town. All it takes is one person who doesn’t know how to drive in snow and it creates a mess for everyone. I expect it will all be gone by noon, but in the meantime kids are playing in the snow (or getting extra sleep) during the 2 hour delay on the start of school and the towing companies and collision repair shops are getting more business.
