When did Oregon get moved to Alaska?

Seriously. We're used to a couple days of snow during the winter. Maybe some icy roads, and even some freezing rain once in a while. At this point it's getting a little ridiculous. Everything around here is covered with 6+inches of snow, a layer of ice, and now more snow is falling. This doesn't seem like the Portland winters I'm used to.

Fortunately the weather isn't keeping everyone in their houses. We had a pretty decent showing at the party last night, especially given the conditions outside.

This was the collection of shoes at the front door. Everybody spontaneously ditched their shoes when they got in the house. I guess it was to keep from tracking snow into the house, or, so they didn't have to wear wet shoes during the party. We all had a good time, and everyone traveled to and from the party safely.
