Getting Plowed on Christmas

We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day at Mom's. Since she doesn't have Internet access at her house, we had to return home to do our preboarding online for our flight tomorrow to San Diego.

It had continued to snow the past 24 hours (this storm has now been officially declared the "snowiest December EVER in Portland") and we weren't sure if we'd be able to get back up our driveway.

The following video explains how we met a fellow named Heath a block from our house, and how he and his Kubota tractor solved our dilemma.




By the way, do you think this qualifies as a significant icicle? :*)




















Friday's forecast includes rain in Portland, but Highway 84 is open through the Gorge, so we should be on our way to San Diego tomorrow afternoon.
