We got a call Monday night about 6:15 to cancel Curt's appointment today (Tuesday, Dec. 23). The person was calling from home because OHSU was not open due to the snow storm. She had an e-mail that Dr. Downs was stranded somewhere. They will call to reschedule when they are back in their office. Dr. Downs only sees patients on Tuesday and Thursdays. Curt's eye is still bothering him. He did get a call this morning from the Corvallis Hospital about his hernia operation on Monday. He needs to be there at 6 AM for the 7:30 AM surgery.
We decided to drive to Lake Oswego today because today was supposed to a break between snow storms. We left Corvallis about 1:20 and stopped for gas at Costco in Albany. We did not get to the Bakers until about 5:15 tonight (it usually takes about 1 hr. 20 min.). The traffic was stop and go in Salem and Woodburn because some people were stopping to put on chains. There were tracks to follow on the road. After Woodburn some were really bumpy. We did not put on chains and made it to Maddie's school parking lot. Jef met us there with his 4 wheel drive and chains. We transferred everything and then drove to their house During the night and morning, there is supposed to be about 3 or 4 more inches of snow and then freezing rain. On Christmas day the warm temperatures (upper 30's & 40's - our usual temperatures for this time of year) are supposed to return to start melting all this snow. We have very little snow in Corvallis now. What a difference! We plan on returning to Corvallis on Friday, weather permitting.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
