This is not the best picture of ice on a drainpipe, but you can see how layered it is. The snow/ice thing needs to go away. Bring back the rain. (That is not of the freezing variety.)

We’ve got a lot of ice going on.
Notice how the snow still hasn’t gone away? It’s trying, though. And in melting, the snow is making the most incredible icicles.
Antares sleeps on.
Learning snow etiquette
I think what I love most about this sign is it’s use of “cherished” when the staff probably felt not-at-all-charitable to the patrons who tracked snow all over the theater.
Portlanders. We’re not that good at snow.
Almost like we don’t live in Portland
This winter thing is no joke this year. We got a lot of snow. So much snow, that had it not happened overnight, we would have broken records.
So much snow that the people on the corner could make this larger-than-people-size snowman.

Here’s what it looked like when I shoveled at 6am. And it kept snowing.
The trees in the neighboring backyard were heavy with snow.
The backyard was covered.
Antares watched the snow fall.
And then that snow? It stayed.
More ice
This winter is one for the record books.
I love seeing how the sheet of ice coats everything, even if it makes it hard to do many of the things that need to be done. 
The birds have been here
Trimet Transit Mall, downtown. I don’t know what brought them all here, but they stayed long enough to make a huge mess.
Not the best thing to see out your window
When the gas leak that caused an explosion that leveled a building is fresh in your mind, it is little comfort to see that you are on the outside of the caution tape of an area that is being evacuated due to a gas leak.
I left early, as did everyone still in my office.
All was fine though. No explosions.
Tiny snowman
When you don’t have enough snow to make a regular snowman, this tiny one will have to do.
Half the sky
Walking over the Steel Bridge this morning.
The east side of Portland has the sun, but the clouds are creeping in from the west side.
