[or-roots] Are you still there?

[W David Samuelsen]

Snow even in downtown Salem?? I hope my uncle and aunt who are in
80s are ok. They live in the hills just east of Salem Municipal
Golf Course.

16 hours without power is cute compared to the problems Salt Lake
City is having - many homes still without power for 5 days now and
now the storm that just walloped Oregon is due to arrive tonight
here to dump as much as 24 inches more of snow.

Just hope the current cycle doesn't lead to sudden thaw like it was
in 1964.
