Rain and light freezing rain? That means more ice.
It was at this point in our multi-day storm that I felt trapped and went and shoveled the ice away from the sidewalk and the front step. I slipped and fell on that front step, so both that and cabin fever motivated me. Ice is still covering the car and the garbage can. We only have trash pickup every 4 weeks, so we were willing to wait for them to catch back up.
Meanwhile, in Southwest Portland…
My mom’s very tall oak tree quietly set itself down in the back yard.
Southwest Portland had a ton of trees go down, and this was one.
It did a pretty good job not hitting things, though. The gray shed took the brunt of it.
All family members living in Southwest Portland were without power for varying amounts of time. I felt very snug and warm in my North Portland home.
