Earlier this year we were in America for a conference when we woke up one morning to a HUGE amount of snow!! In Portland, Oregon apparently it doesn't snow that often... and definitely not this much!! I of course was thrilled!!
We couldn't WAIT to go outside with our cameras and explore! We hadn't exactly packed the right clothes for a snowpocalypse though, so got very cold very quickly, but it didn't put us off!! The whole street we were staying on was so quiet and peaceful, everything was covered in so much snow, which almost all came overnight! It was amazing to see no cars go up the streets and just people out playing like us!
I even made my own chair out of snow! It was crazy, the only other place we had seen this much snow was in Whistler, Canada! We didn't expect to see this much in Oregon, but we weren't complaining!
The trees were SO pretty! It looked like a magical forest, all lit up!
We did though, unfortuneately have to venture out as we were due to leave our Airbandb that day, so we called an Uber and luckily one came to pick us up... a massive truck with chains on it's wheels! Surely this would do the job?? Here is a video from the truck as we drove through Portland...

Thank you! So glad you liked my post!
Ahhh, the memories!
Portland had two crazy snowfalls that season... We were away for the first one and on the second one my partner had to fly to Vancouver BC for a meeting... she left at 2pm - no snow... came back around 9pm and the plane couldn't land... it got to like 8 feet from the runway and pulled up and went back to Canada. She came back the next day to snowy icy chaos! I was working from home in the Pearl, and spent the way watching people ski in the streets and kids playing with sleds and I was so jealous.
Hopefully we get some decent snow again this season.
It was crazy wasn't it! I remember seeing loads of flights cancelled in and out so it mush have been a nightmare! Shame you couldn't get out and have fun it it, I would have been so jealous watching everyone too! Hope you get another snow season this year and can enjoy it properly!!
Thats a huge amount of snow
Stay safe!
Thank you, it was crazy! We didn't travel much the last few days we were there!
What a fun post!
Thank you, wish we could do it all over again!
