Extreme White Christmas

Tuesday, December 23, 2008

It's freaking cold here!!! I'm typing this right in front of the heater. This is the snowiest X'mas for me over these years (I came to US for X'mas since I was 21), the snow is just crazy!

Chean and I truly leave with no choice, we are running out of foods. Just like other human being, we need to EAT! Therefore, we fight against the snow and the extreme temperature (-4'C) to feed out stomach.

entrance
I can barely walk down the stairs.

uphill
hmm... quite scenic isn't it?

car
OMG!!! I have no idea how to free my car from snow.

I thought to write a "Merry Christmas" for you all. But the icy weather stop me from doing that, I am not ready for frost bite yet.

This photo looks great. But guess what, I can't feel my feet at all!!!

One crazy act before I leave Portland for my 3 months extreme heat and humidity in Malaysia...

The ultimate snow tasting!!!

icetasting2
icetasting3

My very first time, tasting the real snow. Well, dirty New York and warm Miami don't allow me to do that either. Yet, Portland seldom snow this much over the decade.

So, this is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to taste the REAL snow since Portland is the greeniest city in US (see, I do research some more).

It taste like Ice Kacang but of course without kacang or other extra ingredients, seriously. I wish I could put some syrup on top of it :p

More pictures...

benches
Lonely park. Many are skiing though.

chinatown
The frozen Chinatown.

chean+max
Puffy Chean (I mean his jacket) and icy rail.

Last but definitely not least,

Merry Christmas to all my beloved families, friends, bloggers, readers, and YOU, who happens to stop by this blog at this right time :)

Wishing you a wonderful and lovely Christmas!
See you guys in Malaysia :)
