The weatherman wins again. It came down steadily and determinably and piled itself on top of the snow already in place. The result is another cancelled show. Means more shows next week to provide opportunity for the ticket holders to attend. But what really threw me is the lack of anything being done. Ann and Tommy graciously came to fetch me in a whopping large pickup with 4WD and studs and weight and we drove to Beaverton on the most surprisingly uncleared roads I have ever experienced. Major thoroughfares where buses run and traffic is usually steady are not plowed. The freeway I5 and 217 were catch as catch can. A car without cable/chains or studs did not stand a chance of traction and with all the hills and dales there were left over cars along every route. At the car rental, they were willing to have chains/cables put on, but the wait was 1.5 hours and the snow was coming down again. The service manager, said you can’t wait for that. Come back on Monday and you probably won’t need chains. With the cancellation of the show tonight, and the roads having no chance of being improved tomorrow, I suspect Saturday night will be a no go as well. In the end, the snow isn’t the surprise, as the lack of dealing with it.
