Given Portland’s temperate climate, the local weather experts are surprisingly fond of predicting snow, ice, freezing rain, or a combination of the three. Usually, nothing that exciting happens, except maybe a run on snow shovels at the hardware store. (Hmm — is that why The Home Depot sponsors the weather page in the local newspaper?)
Well, this time the forecasters were right. Our unusually warm and sunny fall ended this morning when several inches of fluffy white stuff began falling. A few hours later, we heard that all church meetings had been cancelled for the day, thus dispelling Jonathan’s visions of snoeshowing to church.
