Rignt now Oregon is having a real tough time.

Oregon hit hard by snowfall across state

Excerpts

KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. (AP) — There is snow everywhere in Klamath Falls but nary a shovel around....It sounded like a bad rumor this week, but more than 15 store managers in numerous department, grocery and hardware stores said it was true — they were out of snow shovels in Klamath Falls.

In Detroit, Ore. there is so much snow that Marion County officials sent jail inmates there Friday to dig out fire hydrants and storm drains, and to cut trails from houses to the highway so residents could make their way out.

The Oregonian reports the county's dump trucks had to help out because there was so much snow being shoveled out of the way, there was nowhere else to put it, said Robert Jeffers, a cook at Cedars Restaurant & Lounge off Oregon 22.

The snow has shut down interstates and state highways in Oregon and Washington, closed dozens of schools and stranded snowmobilers and back-country adventurers this week. Maybe worst of all, it has established conditions that could lead to significant flooding if the region gets a sudden warm spell and heavy rain.

Here in the Portland, Oregon Metro area, the biggie radio, KEX, carries all the conservatives, Rush, Doctor Laura et. al.

But every chance they get, they'll slip in commie propaganda - global warming etc.

But seeing so many of their listeners snowed in, they've stopped using 'global warming' and now "Greenhouse gasses" is the Republican villain.

Oh well, we've always been at war with Eurasia ...

Snow is building up to some pretty high levels in the coast range too. Highways have been closed off & on last week. Snow chains required when its open now. I see no slow melt for that much snow in the coast range. I was talking to a dairy farmer tonight. The enviro nazi controlled state politicians & army corps of engineers are dead set against dredging the mouths of the silted in rivers here. That will be 3 years in a row with 500 year flooding.

Then to top it off the state is mandating a percentage of bio-diesel be mixed in with regular diesel (along with the ethanol crap in gasoline). The farmer found that out from the mechanic when his freightliner crapped out due to bio-diesel contamination.
