1.   Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow...
Well Portland got socked with a wonderful winter snow storm.  If you saw any of the News footage, it was quite a mess on our roads and freeways.  It is just about over now and life is getting back to normal.  The only real casualty was the NewsBulletin didn't go out on Tuesday as scheduled...seems like we fared pretty well!
