Which store did you go to for Santa, Lynn? Did you see the Meier and Frank windows? Are they the 12 Days of Christmas again?

If Portland falters with snow, it comes to a screeching halt with ice. Which is what I saw out my front window this morning, freezing rain. Two years ago Portland had an ice storm, and you'd think it was the second coming and tribulation, people were so wigged out.

I'm tempted to turn on the local news and snicker at the freaked out news and weather reporters. DH and I being former seasoned Midwesterners, ice storms are a yawn. Wonder if the power'll go out.

DD was delighted with the snow yesterday and thought that since it snowed then today must be Christmas. :cute: There's no slope to sled round here, but it was too cold and windy yesterday, anyway.

We're about a quarter of a mile from the Columbia River, which means gusts of up to 55 miles an hour this time of year. East wind that'll peel your socks off. DH and DD were up at a store right by the river two days ago and the wind was blowing DD away, DH had to hold on to her.

Thank goodness holiday shopping is 90 percent done and I don't have to go anywhere today. DD's Kindergarten program may be cancelled for tomorrow, don't know yet.
