on Black and White and Googled All Over
Thank god! It's about time. The Oregonian is not worth the trees that it's printed on. I've noticed The Oregonian is getting worse and worse in the past few years and I dropped my subscription about a year ago. Furthermore, blogs such as the Portland Mercury and others provide me with all the information that I am interested in. Google News fills in the worldwide perspective and IMO a better source of news than the Oregonian. The lack of journalistic excellence in the Oregonian can be recently displayed in their lack of coverage of the Downtown shooting and the mass coverage of the Sam Adams scandal and another is the front page after the Inaguration showing Sam Adams, not our new president.

Well, not necessarily true, I have a coworker whose husband is out looking for 4WD trucks b/c of this weather.

The school closures have more to do with budget cuts than the snow unfortunately. If snow days don't happen they take days off the end of the year.

When commenting about how other places on the East Coast and the Midwest do not use chains that may be true but they do not have the same geography as we do over here in Oregon. With elevation changes where in one part of the city it is 32 degrees and when I drive up to the top of Burnside and it's 5 degrees cooler and many feet higher it is hard to solve the problems for our city which has many different elevations. Oregon is not flat like NJ and the Midwest, we have mountains not hills.
