Some great video footage. Should open a new window and strem via Windows Media Player. It's taken from Northwest Cable News.

Car after car slides in the ice smashing into everything around it.

I don't miss that at all. One time I was on a two lane highway near Albany and hit ice. Did a few 360's before dropping off the shoulder and through a barbed wire fence. Within seconds I was surrounded by 200 sheep (yeah, probably the gay ones), and those fuckers sounded like they were laughing.

I live in the hills up above Portland and didn't even bother to try to leave the house today.

Yeah that video pretty much summed up the day for many folks here today.

I drove to work and left my car at work and took the company shuttle home...

Fantastic video. That firetruck later gets hit by 2 cars.
It's really not that difficult to drive today as long as you use common sense.

Earlier, I was going into an intersection (with green light) up a slight hill and almost took out a pedestrian. The dumb bitch was watching the ground as she started to walk across a busy street. I locked up all four wheels for about a second when she finally realized her life was about to end.
Thought I had me a hood ornament.

Def depends on what type of vehicle you have... The problem with a lot of people is they think they can drive with anything and can keep control.... I saw so many accidents today from people being too close or just not starting the stopping process soon enough...

It is usually these people that cause the problems
