Today was unarguably Portland’s most beautiful day of 2008… Freezing cold? Definitely! But absolutely gorgeous to say the least.
Being an Ohio transplant by way of Montana made today’s freezing temperature pretty easy on me. Though not-so-much true for native Portlanders. Today I learned that ice sneaks up on you; especially when descending steep, rural roads on a bicycle. There’s a lot of water run-off in Portland and water freezes. Surprised? I was…
For those complaining about the cold, just remember, it could always be worse. Take Newfoundland for example, where oceanic waves freeze at mid-crest.

Nice shot of the city, Patricio. Be careful if you find yourself careening down Germantown to Hwy 30 – we found out the hard, fast, icy, sliding way on Wednesday. See you this weekend?
Beautiful view !! I can see why you ” love it “
