Very well said, Peacecat. 

This issue should never have become an issue.  I am sorry and embarrassed to see that it became one.  Mayor Adams has proven himself a hard worker, and a true and vocal representative of Portland's deepest interests.  This is what we elected him to do, his job.

Yes! I like this reply; I agree that this weather IS unusual here, and it is not worth the environmental impact and city resources to beef up the sand and de-ice use for a handful of days of inclement weather. Take it for what it is (stated by "skeptictank"), "Nature's way of saying that you're not fuly in control", and enjoy the experience. Changing your routine is refreshing, isn't it? Especially when you know it's short term!
