White, White Everywhere!
We are having a white pre-Christmas here in Oregon. The Portland metro area has been hit by a major snow storm. It is the biggest storm I have seen since I moved here ten years ago.
So, I wanted to capture a quick snapshot of what it was like around my neighborhood after the storm ended earlier today. I also wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
By the way, I shot the above video using my new Flip MinoHD Camcorder. I love it.

Thanksgiving holiday is over and another work week is ahead. Last Friday we drove up to Mount Hood (East of Portland, Oregon). We barely made it back down, a snow storm hit the mountain while we were there. My wife took the following picture from inside the car while I was driving on a completely snow covered road:
We made it home safe and sound. Down in Portland it was raining cats and dogs.
