Snow Of The Century ..... Errrrr Decade .... Well Maybe The Last Five Years Anyway

Snow! Snow! Snow! The last two days. An unusual event around these parts. Chains are required in Salem. I don't recall that ever being the status. There's always those dumb asses in their pickups, suv's and jeeps who think they are immune to slick conditions. Saw a few of those out and about.

It's funny but whenever it snows around here, it's the topic of about 98% of conversations that takes place between people. I'm sure that in some place like Minnesota or South Dakota, snow falls barely being noticed at times. But just the onset of light flurries around here has everyone dropping whatever they are doing and running to the nearest windows and doors to check things out.
