OK, not to add to the gleeful weather-reated hysteria, but while driving, I saw a huge tree branch fall into the road and break into big pieces. Huge. If that sucker had hit my car, I probably would have had a heart attack. Damn.

Thanks for the hazardous weather bulletin Jack. I was just about to venture out to run a few errands until your post helped me to regain my senses. Better to stay safe & warm inside this evening, off the treacherous thoroughfares and ride this one out.

Stay hydrated!

This would be even better if you could find the old teletype sound to put under it. chakity-chak-chak-ding!

chakity-chak-chak-ding!
That's almost, but not quite, the sounds Tootie's tram cables have been making for weeks now.
Posted by b!X | February 27, 2007 5:43 PM
Everytime you ride the tram, the operator (they push one button) answers the usual #1 question-"how high of wind can the tram take?"-"Oh, we can operate up to 50 mph, but it is predicted that we won't reach those speeds but once a year". I love Portland's "experts". And can you believe the spin coming out of OHSU and the city today-"this is only the first time we've have had an operational shutdown". WHAT, after a month of operation. Just a glitch. I would hate to be one of today's 29 passengers with a heart attack in progress trying to get to the OHSU operating table up on pillhill.

Now I'm beginning to feel sheepish about my earlier post in another thread:
"Fortunately, for all of us here in the Pacific Northwest, when the weather turns icy, the TRAM will still run! Just like the MAX does. Hallelujah!"
How can I ever again hope for anything positive regarding the TRAM? How can I ever again generate Phaith in the Phart? Woe is me.

I would like to report several puddles near 39th. Be careful.
e.e. cummings might have called the world puddle-wonderful but that was Spring. He obviously never experienced a Winter storm in Portland.

Bill,
Was this storm an inside job? 8)
I hope everyone has an exit strategy and a plan for good weather.
Posted by Steve | February 27, 2007 7:07 PM
i hope you have all have your emergency rations, water, batteries, and blankets ready. you must be prepared at all times against Winter Blast 07.
Posted by Rod | February 27, 2007 7:49 PM
I can't believe it, I left my office and met a friend for lunch downtown today, little did I know--I could have been brutally harmed by vicious weather!! Luckily, I survived.
Those folks at Storm Center 9000 get it right every time!

Why hasn't Super Vicki canceled classes yet? Has she learned nothing?

Best of luck to all of you! Suck it up! You can do it! This time tomorrow, you're a lawyer!

there was tax on there, jackson. two times! one was regular type tax and another was about whether a particular tax levied by congress was constitutional, but seeing the word "tax" twice made my heart skip a beat.

No, but the city & Homer knew about it weeks ago, and let it happen for the construction contracts.
Posted by Jon | March 1, 2007 6:34 AM
Jack,
The weather is affecting your cognitive ability. You forgot the rim-shot note when you mentioned the tram.
Better hie yourself to wherever they took Super Phillips.
