Going out with a bang...

By about 9PM things south of here were really messy. Icy roads and accidents were happening for those that live in the Albany area and south. My dear friend Notocha lives in Corvallis and was here in Salem scrapbooking, when she got a call from her son saying things were getting really slippery there so she decided to head home. She made it home, barely. She couldn't drive the hill to her home so she had to park in another neighborhood and walk home. She said even the bark dust she tried to walk on was slippery. Wow. This nasty cold front coming from the north is colliding with a warm front coming in from the south. That usually means nasty conditions till things warm up and that it looks to be the case at least south of here. My thermometer is reading 32 degrees so once the sun comes up it should warm up and be okay. But this is Oregon after all, so who knows...
