We made it safely to Oregon. There's no plows or salt out here, and most people don't even have shovels to clear the snow, but we're having a great time.
Merry Christmas, everyone!

Gah
Our flight to Portland, Oregon last night was canceled. The weather here has been ugly, but Oregon is receiving its worst snowstorm in 40 years. So, until things clear up a bit, we'll be "stuck" at home. The forecast isn't very favorable right now, but I'm hoping the situation improves before the end of the year.
In the meantime, my thoughts and prayers go out to any place that is receiving more snow that it can handle, which could be said about any number of communities throughout the country.

WHOA Friday!
This past Friday was the company holiday celebration. It was also a day when a foot of snow fell. Jenelle coordinated the company event, so it was a busy day for her. I also kept busy, as the schedule below will show:
4:30 a.m.: Ben wakes up and clears the driveway and nearby sidewalks. He's finished at about 5:15.
5:00 a.m.: Jenelle wakes up.
5:45 a.m.: Ben leaves and heads to the office, and Jenelle leaves and heads to the event site.
6:20 a.m.: Ben arrives at the office and joins his colleagues on our annual "Profit Sharing Day Run". The treacherous conditions limit the attendance to only three people (including Ben), but the tradition continues!
6:30 a.m.: Jenelle arrives at the event site, following a plow most of the way.
7:00 a.m.: Finished with the run, Ben gets cleaned up for the event.
8:40 a.m.: Ben and many others leave the office for the event site.
10:00 a.m.: The formal program begins.
11:00 a.m.: The formal program ends, and the informal celebration begins.
12:00 p.m.: Family photo time!
1:30 p.m.: Ben returns home and clears the driveway AGAIN.
2:00 p.m.: Jenelle gets home as Ben is finishing up the snow removal.
Most of the rest of the day: Ben and Jenelle RELAX.
