Actually, snowy evening - when I went to bed last night the snow had already come down. Didn't realize it till I got off the computer and moved but everything was blanketed white. I don't know if we got more in the night or not. It's still out there this morning. V. pretty, but too dark to get a picture, alas.
I've got the radio on for traffic reports but at first glance it looks like it will not be a problem by the time I leave (which is another hour or more away). It's not particularly code, the freeways are already mostly clear, and the county I live in says things are already turning to slush and they have plows out to clear it. Which pretty well means it'll be fine in an hour.
There's a lot of issues, though - Vancouver (north of us) has transportation on snow routes as does Portland, and Salem (south of us) are closing some school-related services. Portland State U is closed.
But that's over surface streets. Traffic reports say the freeways are good. And my whole commute is mostly freeway and a couple major roads, with a block and a half of less-major surface streets at either end. (Well, it is when I take the cautious route I use in bad weather. Not if I go through the north Wilsonville exit, but I'm not doing that today.)
Also, I hear that Seattle's finally getting their snow as well! :)
Aside: I'm ready early. This is not the morning to be ready early. Oh well!
