I know. Ever since I came to the Portland area (1971) I have just been stunned on how little knowledge there is here in how to deal with snow. I mean, we only get about 1/4 inch every 5 years or so, but when we do, the entire town shuts down.

In all my years in school in Chicago, I only missed one day due to weather and that was because the boiler broke at the school.

I guess here in Portland, we don't make snowmen, we make rainmen.
