Last year I survived my first real blizzard experience. Portland was hit several times in the month of December by big snow storms that left snow drifts until February and the city that is known for rain a shambles. My car was a civic filled bon-bon of 12 inches of snow covered in 3 inches of ice. I had never seen such weather conditions.
The snow is supposed to come in smaller amounts this weekend and it makes me remember being stranded in my best friend's house, playing Donna Reed during the day and staying up watching "Weeds" and "Brothers and Sisters" on DVD. My trip home that began with a ride to the airport by strangers I met at Starbucks and included 4 stops before I was in Tennessee was redeemed by my first class status and complimentary alcohol.
This year will (hopefully) be calmer but a part of me misses the forced togetherness and crazy antics that last Christmas held here in Oregon. I am sure there will be excitement of different kinds awaiting my early arrival in the southeast...
