Work, Cold, Sun, Snow...More Snow

Had a busy end of the week at work, did a good amount of riding and bit o' yoga to boot. It's been cold all week, but really nice out.

Worked late at school on Fri and headed to the mountain early Sat morning for a little sunshine and snow. There wasn't any new snow, but there was lots of sunshine and beer at the mid mountain hut. No clouds, no wind...good stuff. A day full of bit of hanging out, a lazy Sunday and another day up on the mountain for more of the same on Mon. Lots of new photos on Flickr.

I woke up early this morning and it was dumping snow. I kept stalling getting ready for work thinking it would be called. There was a lot of snow, but no call so managed to get to work with no time to spare. The roads where shitty, and people have no friggin' clue how to drive in the snow. Half the staff wasn't there when school started and there were only 3 kids in my first period. Every school in the Portland area was closed by 8am. They finally decided to call it sometime around 8:45 and brought the few buses that had made it back.

I got home around 10 and enjoyed the weather with Phife for a while before heading into the west hills to do some riding. It was gorgeous out. Rode down and around Washington park and did laps riding the train to the top again. It all reminded me of being in elementary school... hiking around with sleds and staying out because you knew there was no school. People were out everywhere with sleds, skis, boards, bikes...Portland really takes advantage when it snows. Some great photos on Bikeportland of the scene around town.

Good good stuff. I made a big bowl of rice, tempeh and veggies...they already canceled school for tomorrow...more then.
