Arttic Blast 2008

It is an Icy paradise Slippery roads all around us

So the shoveling snow begins... Judi's idea.

Work halted due to weather.....

Judi teaching me the fine art of removing snow.

Attic Blast 2008 started the week before Christmas. Against weather experts reports, Salem city floor got its fair share of snow accumulation. Schools closed, business closed, but DHS kept us coming to work. There is no Justice. After the first wave of powdery snow felt on the ground, it quickly froze that evening turning into ice. The roads were slippery. Did I mention that DHS made us come to work while every one else played in the snow / ice, Where is the Justice? On Saturday 12/20/08, while the roads in Salem were slippery, we went to Portland to pick up Drew under a disappointing rain, and reports of no snow accumulation for Salem. Once on the road the weather chaos broke lose.

Travelling on I-5, once we past Wilsonville, we saw every 18 wheeler pulling to the side to chain up. We were travelling at 70 mph until that point and down to 20 mph from the point forward. On our way back from the airport, the condition deteriorated into Snow followed by freezing rain, hail and more freezing rain. For sure DHS was going to close operations, but Noooo, they did not; I demand Justice !!!!! On Christmas eve we saw some flakes but no accumulation and on Christmas day we some some flakes mix with freezing rain, yet no accumulation.

"Ese Pobre Lechon"

The tittle "Ese Pobre Lechon" (that poor pig) is the title of a folk Christmas song about a poor pig that was slaughter for a Christmas feast. The song details the death, preparation (rotisserie), and consumption of the pig. Rice with Pigeon peas, Pasteles (plantain dough filled with pork), Morsilla (don't ask but it is make from the pork), and Rotisserie pig over an open fire pit is the traditional main course in Puerto Rico during Christmas.
