In Sandy, SAM transit buses have shifted to snow routes. Sandy Transit information, call 503-668-3466 and ask for the dispatcher.

In addition, the Molalla River School District's afternoon kindergarten classes at Clarkes Elementary School will not be in session today because the entire elementary school closed at 12:30 p.m. Middle and high school students in the country also left early, with buses one through seven on snow routes.

Ode to Snow - go away - enough is too much. Especially with a low down snowblower.

Snow is the son of the day week month. We have had roughly 60 inches in the past 30 days - way way WAAAYYpast normal. Our driveway is a strong bulwark of c on both sides, both towering over my head. No telling what is buried underneath it all.

Our poor little pups ventured only a few feet from the door, sniff, do their thing, then scoot back in to the passion of the interior fires.
