Best laid plans....

Good evening from PDX,

No medical stuff to report for today because the traffic was so backed up on Highway 26 this morning due to snow that I had to cancel and reschedule my bone density test at OHSU.  There were snow flurries throughout the day, but not much stuck in the Hillsboro area.  Sylvan Hill above the zoo was the real bottleneck.  The big one is supposed to roll in tonight and tomorrow and the forecast is for up to three inches of snow on the valley floor by tomorrow morning - even more at higher elevations.  We just didn't think attempting a cross town commute at 4:00 a.m. made much sense, particularly in a rental car with summer tires.  So, we drove to the airport area after rush hour this evening and are spending the night in a hotel over here instead.  A quick shuttle to the airport in the morning and then we just hope our plane can get out.   Makes us really appreciate living so close to the airport at home.  With any luck, our next post will be from San Jose del Cabo.

Stay warm!!
Shalom,
    Barry and Kathy

  1. Gee, you must feel right at home wondering where you'll be spending your Mexico break. Only we suspect it is far less fun in Portland than in P'burg. We'll keep you in our prayers. Don and Karen
