Portland is finally beginning to thaw out after being hit with a soul-crushing bitch slap by The Worst Winter Storm in Over a Decade (AKA Winter Blast 2004). MAX is finally running, planes are beginning to trickle out of PDX and the roads are clear (mostly). Still, Blog's car is still landlocked in a driveway lake of ice and those rotten PPS kids got another snow day. Bastards.

Then there's the ice.

It's falling all over the place. Last night, Blog witnessed a small avalanche roll off the top of Pioneer Place within inches of two cackling shoppers. A car outside of a Portland Blockbuster had its front window shattered. The roof of an industrial plant in east Portland collapsed and a Gresham Fred Meyer was evacuated earlier today.
