Snow in Portland
Got the chains on the xTerra and we slid down the street to get a hearty breakfast and to pick up some supplies. Plan to spend the day watching the Seahawks game and making Irish coffees. :)
My co-worker and trainer at ABC's, Jared Mockli has been stuck on an Amtrak train since 8pm last night, on his way up to Seattle to see the Seahawks play ... currently he is still on the train and it is ironically stopped right next to the stadium. Feel bad for the guy, what a mess.
A huge tree fell on our neighbors house last night and we are supposed to get more freezing rain this evening. Keeping fingers crossed. I realize the weather is pretty bad across the US and I hope every one is safe and warm.

I can sympathize with Jared, I once got stuck on an Amtrak train heading from L.A. to Denver in the high desert about 3 hours out of Las Vegas(8 hours) on our way to Salt Lake City in January. The train was without power while another engine from SLC came to tow us in. We continued to be without power even when the new engine was pulling us because it had to hook up backwards(?). It took another 10 hours to get to SLC. The whole time Amtrak refused to give out blankets unless you paid for them at $12 apiece and it was getting darned cold.

1oz Clear Creek Apple Brandy
1 Tablespoon of Organic honey
1/4 of a lemon (squeezed, and a wheel for garnish)
1 cup boiling water
I don't like adding a tea bag to mine, but some people do.
