I came to Portland to go to school, and when I first came here I was *amazed* at how people reacted to snow. The city of Portland more or less shut down that first winter when it snowed two inches. A few years later we got some snow (probably 4 inches) and I was driving a Miata at the time, on my way home from work on I-5 there were a ridiculous number of 4x4s and SUVs in the ditches along the side of the road, I was doing fine until I nearly got taken out by a car in front of me that did a 360. After having lived here for 14 years I've learned my lesson: take the bus when the snow starts to fall.
