What a great day for people who don't have to drive their cars! We got 3 inches of snow in dowtown portland and it is so cold that it should last for a couple of days! Too bad for all the commuters though; right when it was time for morning traffic to be at its worst is when everyone realized the weather was going to turn all the roads into ice! School wasn't canceled until 15 minutes before it was to begin--so all the kids and their parents were already in the car trying to get there on time. Many people didn't have their chains or anything to help them drive on icey roads so they just abandoned their cars in the middle of the interstate!

Take a look at the video of the crazy drivers and the ride (slide) they took!
