For the past 4 days we've been stuck here at home because a big snowstorm hit Portland. What I find hard to believe is that this city can't function because some snow falls out of the sky. This city is just not equipped to handle this kind of snow. Growing up, we had snow like this all winter long. We were still able to leave the house, go to school or work, etc. But here, we were all told to not leave the house unless we had to. For starters, our local roads do not get plowed or sanded. So that is a big difference. They need to have more plows! Also, we live on a hill, so to get off our street would be difficult because we wouldn't be able to get any traction going up hill. Today it is starting to melt, so hopefully this mess will all be behind us soon.
Since we were stuck at home, we decided to make the best of it. The boys got outside a couple of times and enjoyed sledding down our hill and playing in the snow. Fortunately we had plenty of food so we didn't have to make a quick run to the grocery store. We played games. We watched TV. It was nice to relax, but I'm ready to have things go back to normal and resume our routine. I hope you had a good weekend!
