That's so funny it's sad. I know that Portland doesn't usually get that much snow.

Scary innit? I saw that one a while back. oy!

Turn *INTO* the slide, you idiot!

You'd think these people had never seen icy roads, before.

Given the large number of So-Cal people that move up every year, and the fact that Portland Oregon only gets snow every 3+ years, they probably haven't. :)

Heck, I know to turn into the slide.

Then again, I'm a Nor-Cal native :-)

o/~ Ever since I was a young lad, I played with icy falls . . . o/~

As a Californian desert boy, that's terrifying!

*sigh* looks kinda like the hills in Seattle.

No kinda about it. I almost ended up sliding on my rear all the way down to Aurora. :-)

[sweet-kitty-gal.livejournal.com]

yeah.. that happens *shrugs* thats normal in Seattle. people would just kinda laugh then come over and help you if you did.

One wonders if the fire truck even tried to make it down that hill.

[duckflambe.livejournal.com]

If it did, I bet they would have taped it. :)

My guess is the truck just parked at the top of the hill to block more traffic from going down (plus, they probably had chains on).

[patgund.livejournal.com]

Be my bet too. The buses in Seattle had chains on, I can't imagine the fire trucks would be different
