Not much :(

Well, it looks like it will be one of those years where our snow total can only be described as "Trace". We got a dusting, but barely. I think we have had hail storms that produced more accumulation.
Oh well.

How Much?

So there are rumblings on the weather forums about this weekends snow event. We could possibly get 1-2 inches of "moisture", and if its snow, well, thats A LOT! Over 10 inches! So... keeping in mind that we get 10 inches over about 3-4 years in Portland,... so we shall see. I will take 1 inch. I will still have to go to work, but it will be a fun commute and a slow day. Lots of true City Folk will surely stay home if we get a dusting making my job a lot easier.

Let it snow... let it snow... let it snow...

Probably our best chance for some real snow coming up later this week. I will keep my fingers crossed.

Two words..

I have two words for the upcoming election...
RON PAUL

Overhyped

Someone hit the nail on the head on the radio this morning. This election is overhyped. The media coverage is uncanny and overwhelming. I wish I could stop watching, but I cant. Its exciting to think that we could have someone other than a Bush or Clinton in the White House, but we will likely have more of the same. The younger generation seems to be having a big impact again, but I am starting to think not enough. I can always hope though,... right?

The primaries...

Maybe it is just me, but this year's presidential election definitely seems different. I have been voting for a good 10 years now, and I don't remember ever hearing much about the candidates until well after the primaries. This year you cannot get away from it. Bill Clinton was talking about how he didn't win a single state in his first primaries until well into February and this year they are already talking about winners after only 1 state has voted. I guess it is just all part of the internet generation. As far as candidates go, for me the most interesting are Ron Paul and Barack Obama. John McCain is also interesting, but it would take a bit more convincing from him for me to send a vote that way at this point. I am just worried that people are going to get tired of all the Press about these candidates. Information overload.
