Yesterday |
||
|---|---|---|
 |
2:07pm | Swapped vehicles (now have an SUV) & now about to have a BBQ chicken burger & steak fries at Red Robin |
|
2:10pm | Still debating whether or not to go away for the weekend – snow likely wherever I am |
 |
3:13pm | Four Points Sheraton Portland East |
|
3:20pm | This is the vehicle I now have, a Ford Edge: http://tinyurl.com/5rwq5g |
|
3:23pm | Dinner was great – Whiskey River BBQ Chicken Burger with onion straws. Am enjoying proper BBQ sauce at every opportunity - |
|
3:24pm | - just can’t get it in Australia like here (& I’ve looked!). |
|
3:46pm | There are blizzard warnings from Fri 10am in the Cascades, bringing by Sunday the coldest weather since 2004. Portland is forecast to have |
|
3:50pm | snow beginning Fri night & on into Monday. Forecast max for Mon & Tue is -3C & min -8C. It will be intrestng to see how it all unfolds! |
|
3:52pm | It would be good to have some snow here – and if it’s only at higher elevations, that’s where I’ll go! This morning they were saying there’d |
|
3:52pm | be 2-3 ft of snow falling at Pass level. |
|
3:53pm | Because it’s staying below freezing it’s not likely at this stage to turn to ice. |
|
3:56pm | Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow! |
Today |
||
|
1:23am | More meetings, more talking. Progress is being made, so it’s not just meetings for the sake of meetings. Hopefully it’s laying the |
|
1:23am | groundwork for better communications here on out. |
|
1:24am | Still delaying making the decision I know I have to make, to not go away this weekend because of the impending weather. |
|
1:25am | I’d be able to get away today, but getting back might be a challenge! |
|
1:25am | Wait! Isn’t that a good idea  |
|
1:26am | (the roads might be cleared by Wednesday, in time to hop on a plane back home) |
|
1:26am | (the roads would be cleared sooner than that) |
|
7:16am | East Portland |
|
9:10am | Have decided to stay in Portland over the weekend. Will re-visit some places I haven’t yet seen this visit, such as coffee shops, and then |
|
9:10am | head for the hills to enjoy some snow. |
|
9:10am | I’ll just have to come back again so I can have some more time to head down to the McKenzie River area. |
