Knee deep in snow. ugh.
I'm trying REALLY hard to be positive about this highly unusual snow spell Portland, and the entire Pacific Northwest, is going through. The snow began last Sunday and it has not stopped, save for a few glorious hours on Thursday and Friday, wherein it was safe for me to drive my poor neglected car. Yes, I would LOVE to burning some lethal gases into our frail atmosphere right now. Call me insensitive, I do not care, but I MISS DRIVING MY CAR.
I was stuck in downtown on Saturday following a very fun bar-hopping night with a new friend for a whole hour. At 2 AM. I boarded #15 bus only to be told (just as I was about to doze off) that it wouldn't continue its Eastbound route, but instead loop around downtown. The driver tells me my best bet would be to run over to the #14 stop to catch the LAST bus heading East. I swear. I felt I was running away from Post-apocalyptic Snow Zombies, for the streets were SO deserted. So I ran God knows how many blocks, but of course that bus was long gone, IF it ever passed. My friend texted me a bunch of taxi numbers, and after eight tries, one service finally answers me. And I am on my merry way home.
The fiasco drained all energies from me the next day, I even had to call in work. All this annoyance would have easily been avoided if it hadn't snowed NON STOP all weekend long and it was safe to drive my car.
But then again, I WAS pretty intoxicated.
So I guess it was a good thing I did not have my car. Hmm.....
Still. I decided to go for a brief walk today to escape this snowy prison. Here is what I saw. The snow is DEEP.
