Better late than never

What crazy weather we've been having here!  Last week we were in the mid to high 60's.  Really felt like spring.  Then on Friday and Saturday Boulder received more than a foot of snow.  I was in Portland for business, and stayed over the weekend.  The plan was to go snowboarding at Mount Hood on Saturday, but things played out a bit differently.

I'd seen "Super Diamond" a few times in the Nineties, so it was cool randomly find them playing in Portland.  My co-worker Mike and I bought tickets, and ended up enjoying the show a little too much.


We woke up a little too late to make it Snowboarding the next day.  Instead we drove around the Oregon coast a bit, and took in the sights.  That area of the country is pretty cool, it's certainly doesn't remind me of anyplace I've spent significant time at.

By the time I got back to Boulder, Kristen had a bit of Cabin Fever, but most of the snow had melted.  Tuesday night we got another foot of snow.  The roads got pretty messy, and a co-worker was in his car for over 5 hours, trying to make it 37 miles back to his place.  I didn't take any pictures, but found this one on the local paper's site:

Most of the snow is gone in town.  The mountains didn't really get hit that hard, and I don't think Kristen is going to let me go up there any time soon anyways.
