So I am going over to Bend/Redmond Monday and Tuesday for work.

Posted by Redmond (aka redmond) Dec 5 '09, 08:50

It's going to be 5 degrees with -15 chill factor.

O M G!!! We just don't deal with that type of cold here. I don't even have clothes for that kind of cold.

shrinkage! -- nm - JenBro Dec 5, 10:47
Adorable. nm - Dignan Dec 5, 09:09 1
- its possible.... (spoils) - TFox Dec 5, 09:14
lots and lots of layers - 'lia Dec 5, 09:07
wear longjohns and a hat. -- nm - loosilu Dec 5, 09:02
Sheesh, good luck with that. - Krusty Dec 5, 09:02 52
- You're moving to Portland? -- nm - Hotkiss Dec 5, 09:19 13
  - Yup, heading there this spring to look at neighborhoods and possibly some houses. -- nm - Krusty Dec 5, 09:57 12
    - whatta who?! -- nm - adventy97 Dec 5, 10:01 11
      - I love Brooklyn and NYC but I'll never own a house living here or have what I hear people refer to as lawns. - Krusty Dec 5, 10:07 10
        
        Lawns are overrated. - adventy97 Dec 5, 10:08 9
        
        Maybe if you had come here instead of Chicago I'd have a reason to stay. :-) - Krusty Dec 5, 10:13
        
        Lawns are so *not* overrated. -- nm - TFox Dec 5, 10:09 7
        
        word. -- nm - kelly Dec 5, 10:19
        
        totally are. -- nm - loosilu Dec 5, 10:12 5
        
        unless you got kids - 'lia Dec 5, 10:13 4
        
        barefoot in the lawn isn't even possible in Austin. - adventy97 Dec 5, 10:17
        
        I'm a city girl. I can't run barefoot in grass. -- nm - loosilu Dec 5, 10:15
        
        I love running around barefoot on lawns. My favorite smell is fresh cut grass or a lawn after it rains a bit. -- nm - Krusty Dec 5, 10:15 1
        
        Reminds of when I played little league. -- nm - Krusty Dec 5, 10:17
- Nobody here owns a snow shovel. -- nm - Redmond Dec 5, 09:04 37
  - :-) Best thing I've heard about Portland yet. -- nm - Krusty Dec 5, 09:07 36
    - that they're unprepared? -- nm - loosilu Dec 5, 09:08 35
      - Well that's one way to look at it. - Krusty Dec 5, 09:16 34
        
        We get snow a few days a year, and it's usually followed a day or two later with warmer air moving in and melting it. - Redmond Dec 5, 09:20 33
        
        Good to know. I hate the dirty snow, I live on the corner of a very busy intersection. It's black an hour after it hits the ground. -- nm - Krusty Dec 5, 09:26 32
        
        You are going to laugh your ass off. So this is the typical snow event in Portland. - Redmond Dec 5, 09:34 31
        
        *laughing* That's great! - Krusty Dec 5, 09:50 12
        
        When are you moving? -- nm - Redmond Dec 5, 09:52 11
        
        We're heading there this spring to look at neighborhoods and probably houses. - Krusty Dec 5, 09:58 10
        
        It's awesome here. It truly is. The people are a little nuts, but that's okay. -- nm - Redmond Dec 5, 10:00 9
        
        We're looking at Beaverton, seems like we can afford the houses there and it's not too far from downtown. - Krusty Dec 5, 10:10 8
        
        It's very slow paced, and yes very liberal. Beaverton is great I lived there for awhile. - Redmond Dec 5, 10:17 7
        
        Not having an AL baseball team is a huge downside for me, I'll have to make regular trips to Seattle to see the Yankees play. - Krusty Dec 5, 10:22 6
        
        They have minor league baseball, and it looks like, an MLS team too soon? -- (link) - TFox Dec 5, 10:26 2
        
        I have a feeling it's going to take some time before the team name Beavers doesn't make me laugh. -- nm - Krusty Dec 5, 10:28 1
        
        Oregon is the Beaver State. We have a Beaver on our state flag -- nm - Redmond Dec 5, 10:29
        
        A year or two ago we were rated #1 in the country for best Restaurants. - Redmond Dec 5, 10:25 2
        
        Sweet! Nice to know I won't lose much food wise. I worry about the pizza. -- nm - Krusty Dec 5, 10:26 1
        
        I'd also worry about the bagels. - adventy97 Dec 5, 10:29
        
        it's not fair that you never have snow to play in if it's gonna get that cold - 'lia Dec 5, 09:48 17
        
        Last year we had 3 feet of snow. It paralyzed the city. - Redmond Dec 5, 09:50 16
        
        I should say, 3 feet at my house, Portland had about a foot. -- nm - Redmond Dec 5, 09:52 15
        
        and you never bought a snow shovel? -- nm - 'lia Dec 5, 09:53 14
        
        To buy a snow shovel you would have to have a place that sells a snow shovel. -- nm - Redmond Dec 5, 09:55 13
        
        a hardware store? - 'lia Dec 5, 09:59 6
        
        Sears, Walmart, Target, Home Depot. Tons of places. Sometimes truck stops. -- nm - loosilu Dec 5, 10:17
        
        We have them. Why would you carry an item that sells maybe once every 7 years? -- nm - Redmond Dec 5, 10:00 4
        
        why do I have a hunch you didn't actually go looking for a shovel? -- nm - loosilu Dec 5, 10:14 3
        
        Sound like a kid could make some loot going house to house on days like that. - Krusty Dec 5, 10:16 2
        
        yup -- nm - 'lia Dec 5, 10:22
        
        Krusty's job search is *over*. :) -- nm - TFox Dec 5, 10:17
        
        *calls elves* -- nm - TFox Dec 5, 09:57 5
        
        Dude!! You might find a store that has 2 or 3, but when it snows they are gonzo!! - Redmond Dec 5, 09:59 4
        
        dude, you don't go shopping for one after it snows. -- nm - loosilu Dec 5, 10:16 1
        
        no kidding - 'lia Dec 5, 10:24
        
        I'm half kidding. I lived in Nashville. Talk about a city that can't function with 6 inches of snow. - TFox Dec 5, 10:00 1
        
        We use tire chains and studded tires here. My work vehicle has studs on it right now. - Redmond Dec 5, 10:02
I forget, where you at? Either way, that is really effing cold -- nm - Hotkiss Dec 5, 08:56 7
- Portland, Oregon. Bend in in Central Oregon. -- nm - Redmond Dec 5, 08:58 6
  - Oh right on. I'm heading to Chicago today and the windchill is supposed to be pretty bad there too. - Hotkiss Dec 5, 09:00 5
    - Come to Portland in July-October. We have the best Summers in the entire country. - Redmond Dec 5, 09:03 4
      - I might have to take you up on your offer. We'll see later this year :) -- nm - Hotkiss Dec 5, 09:07 3
        
        We will round up RC and Guy for the Portland Trio Tour... I still haven't met Mop and he lives 2 hours from me. - Redmond Dec 5, 09:49 2
        
        I thought Mop was Canadian for some reason. -- nm - Krusty Dec 5, 10:00 1
        
        He moved to Oregon from Canada. -- nm - Redmond Dec 5, 10:03
