I have to go downtown today, and the threat of "snow" is hovering.

At least I'm taking the streetcar. I may have to stand in the cold for an hour as that thing follows no discernible schedule, but at least if it "snows" I won't die.

Does it actually snow in Portland, or does it just fall from the sky as polluted, grey slush?

That's Providence snow, what you just described there.

Wait, doesn't it also occasionally snow in Tucson?

Every 5 years or so.  But it doesn't stick.

Up in the Catalinas, it snows every year.  So you can go sledding in the morning, then come back down and jump in the pool.

Oh, no, everything is very clean and beautiful here. It falls from the sky in the form of a sparking white Pandora's box of danger. It's very picturesque, with the bridges and the evergreens and the people panicking.

Every year, I try to explain to people who have just moved here from someplace where it actually snows. That stuff falling from the sky LOOKS like snow, but it doesn't really snow here. Sometimes people have to be here a few years before they experience it because it doesn't happen every year. I can't really describe what happens, except to say that as soon as it starts, people try to get home as fast as possible because everything can go really bad in the space of an hour.

There was one winter where we were trapped inside for a week because there was no even vaguely reasonably safe way to get to street level, and if I'd been able to get to street level it wasn't safe to walk.

Every winter, flying unicorns poop all over Portland.  While beautiful and spiritually invigorating, it makes the ground slippery, and causes people to drive like they've had 6 martinis for lunch.

:lulz: Something like that.

I have to admit that sometimes I kind of hope for freezing rain, so that I have an excuse to not go anywhere.

But I don't really hope for it, because the trees crushing things and the power outages and not having any heat in my house and having to live on whatever foods are in my pantry are not very fun.

Just think:  In Norway1, they have to live like that all the time.
