Same down here in Vancouver. I do it anyways. If it's slick out I'm not getting out of my chair to try and scrape windows so I say **** 'em and do it anyways.

Our little city is second to Seattle in lack of salt shakers/snow plows per amount of people. I guess we're not as environmentally correct down here since we started using salt last year. The chemical they were using got too expensive so they started using salt after a couple decades of not using it. They claimed the cars of today will never see any damage in our lifetime. I say "yeah right".

All it has to do is flurry a little and the Portland metro area is closed down. Which is a good thing cause no one knows how to drive in it. Not counting last night we've got 13". My wife (former Californian) thinks I'm some kind of God after driving her to work in my little FWD 300m Monday morning. She doesn't understand, this is nothing compared to the midwest.



We don't have the amount of hills that you folks up there have Floppy so I can imagine the troubles. I was always happy we didn't have as many down here cause I can't imagine the work the crane rental guys' go thru up there to crib up a crane.
