Well I work in an office n their inclimate weather policy is dumb but like everyone I work with haaates the snow. I don't get it. The city is pretty good at salting and plowing. Most people that live in the city dont even need to get their shoes wet.

Barely any snow around here so far this winter. I'm not a big fan of driving in snow as I can't afford snow tires.

Lolno. Total nonsense. Fuck snow and fuck winter. It doesn't matter how good at driving you are if you hit some ice. It's cold as fuck and being outside sucks ass. Winter is the worst thing that ever happened to the world and disproves god with it's sheer awfulness.

They don't salt the roads here in Portland, just a little tiny bit of snow throws the whole city into a tizzy...... On the flip side people drive relics of vehicles as a lifestyle, which adds a little character around this joint, salts being corrosive and rusting gear up.... Any excuse to slack off is a good one, so I like snow days.

They are apparently going to start salting certain roads here when it starts snowing heavily.

The previous owners of my Xterra were from wisconsin, I had to literally sawzall through three control arms, and both of the leaf springs in the rear.
It ain't that old of a car either, just turned 10 years old. You can tell the new stuff is a lot more comfortable lol.

Dude they salt the shit out of our roads if we're going to get a dusting.
It's a good thing, despite it eating up road and cars alike, because people dunno how to fuckin drive but insist on doing it. People were doing 60 across the bridge on the highway this morning (as they should, since ice forms on bridges first and melts away last) and this dumb bitch in an SUV speeds up to me, nearly hits my rear bumper, then tries to speed up over 65 (the speed limit) as we pick up a little tiny bit more speed and I had to break again for the people in front of me and she got waaaay to close again and basically stayed too close until she could finally pull out around me. And of course gave me the bitchface as she passed me. Like I was the one being an asshole.
Went down the highway weaving in and out of lanes doing well over 75.
I hope when my car finally does go bad, the axil breaks or whatever, one of those people hit me and they get to pay for my replacement. I otherwise find driving in the snow to be fun. Even tho, because so many people insist on being out for no reason, whatever doesn't get plowed gets packed down into ice. I basically slid my way out of the neighborhood this morning.

Maybe someday soon, got shit going on right now, trying to get the landlady to fix my washer, has been broken before christmas, am certifiably pissed.... one day, when I'm just listening to music in bed, the door on my bedroom just fucking falls off.... I pay $1800/mo for a complete shithole, getting some financial logistics and starting house hunting...... Hopefully this won't kick me out to the burbs....
Anyways, I guess the truth lies somewhere in the middle:
"Why doesn't Oregon salt the streets or sidewalks? I realize it only snows a little each year, but I have seen people and cars sliding and falling.
Oregon has long shunned the rock salt used in other states to help melt snow and ice during winter storms. Until recently, the Oregon state line from California, Nevada or Idaho was often marked by packed snow on the roadways.
Welcome to Oregon, indeed.
That's changed in recent years. The Oregon Department of Transportation in 2012 launched a pilot program, salting two stretches of road near the state's border to avoid the sudden change in conditions.
But most of the state still doesn't use rock salt, aka sodium chloride or table salt.
Both ODOT and the Portland Bureau of Transportation instead treat roads with magnesium chloride, a chemical salt that's applied as a liquid solution. It's considered easier on the environment and less corrosive to vehicles and roadways."

The thing about using rock salt here is I don't think it's going to damage cars here the way it does out east- out east they use that shit multiple times a week, and since the place stays frozen all winter season the salt levels remain elevated until it starts melting and rain comes- in portland snow is rare, and it'll rain within a week of it snowing, it will lower any salinity levels in the soil, etc. Not so easy though I guess in the eastern side of the state where rain is more scarce.
I Understand the rent thing completely (though we have a relatively cheap 2 bedroom, we're paying $1200 a month, but I need a job because I can't work construction w/ back injury).
But yeah I'm in the SE area, so if you are ever down to get a beer I know some breweries or pubs we could snag a beer at.

Oi, geezer. I recognise the words as being English, but, what the fuck are you on about.
Barely had to turn the heating on so far this winter. My area more or less comes to a standstill if we get over three inches of the snowy stuff.

I've still never been in snow 
So funny though because I used to go to Seattle all the time during the holidays and I've even been up to Canada and Alaska. The closest I've ever been to "snow" was in Palm Springs when I took a cherry lift or tram up a mountain but that was more so ice than actual snow.

Snows mostly melted now and my car is well salted.
I honestly think all the salt that gets washed up on your windshield is more dangerous than the snow.

Yeah, it's pretty bogus. Cars in front of you spray shit all over your windshield, and you try to use the windshield wipers and it just smears all over and you can't see, so then you use some wiper fluid, but there is ice all over the wipers so it doesn't do shit.
Fuck winter.

Is the upper parking lot accessible/unlocked? I want to drive up it if it hasn't been plowed 
I've got a pretty capable vehicle so it makes this weather fun, and I know a ton of people aren't out driving so the roads are somewhat 'untouched'.

I wanna be in like Canada or Alaska or something where there's snow on the ground all winter long and nobody gives a fuck cuz everyone has four wheel drive and snowmobile anyway.
The biggest reason they use so much salt on our roads is cuz the snow melts during the day and forms long stretches of black ice during the night and morning commuters get screwed by it.
Also we usually get rain and sleet in between periods of snow so there's often layers of ice hiding under the snow. But it's not real hard to get decent enough traction on fresh snow. Ice is the problem.
Yeah I'd rather be up in the far north and deal with legit snow instead of the silly stuff we usually get.
