BLIZZARD 2007

Weather Alert! Storm Team 12! Sheets of Ice! Weather that can change in an instant! Ahhh! As the local TV station put it, sledding injuries are "piling up" in the hospitals. It's been a funny day listening to the radio and tv reports. Portland Public Schools are getting reamed for closing too late. Last week they were in trouble for being too conservative. The local interviews with the public are highly illuminating and most likely will generate a comprehensive solution to the problem in no time. As for driving in inclement weather, the experts are recommending to clear the snow from your windshield first, hold the coffee cup in your left hand so you can talk on your phone with your right hand, and drive at a speed that seems reasonable to you. Enjoy the snow (BLACK ICE!) and be safe.
