Don't care what the weather site says, my thermometer AND my knees say it's 32 (why my knees? because they hit the snow again, of course). Scott got the car open for me this morning and I just now ran it quite a while and deiced it. The tires are decent, the front left is still a bit icy on the side, but otherwise good.

At this point I am waiting and seeing. The freeway's supposed to be fairly clear but there was an ice-triggered accident near the south Wilsonville exit an hour ago, but that was on the bridge, so.... Wilsonville Road was decentish when Scott took it. But he said our road was bad, and what Scott can handle I am sometimes flinchy about. And I have no idea what the work end surface streets are like. Kruse Way is probably clear - it is the surface-street end of 217 and will have been sanded so that we are still getting grit on our cars in a month. But the two side streets and the parking lot, those may be another matter, and I have not heard from anyone who has gone into work but that they are all staying home.... So no on-the-site reports on what it is like.

Still, if it's 32 now, in another hour or two I should be able to get in, which would be good as there are a couple things I'd like to get done. We have two people supposed to fly out midday tomorrow. I'd like them to have all the stuff they need, which I have to prep. Of course, even if I do, no idea if they can get into the office (one at least lives in an area that is not looking good at all this morning), and no idea if they will fly out tomorrow in any case (airport being closed today and all that...and the airport's right on the river which is supposed to have freezing rain potentially through tomorrow evening).

My knees are cold. But my car can be seen. Couple inches of snow and, in the end, almost a half-inch of ice over it on the top, though the ice on the sides was much less.
