It is as if the Oracle at Delphi has predicted that snow will blanket the damn Portlanders (sorry) in the wee hours of tomorrow morning.
I came here to this place from a far hinterland which is a vast icicle most of the year and guess what? You think I want to drive in snow in Portland?
Hell no!

I for one am looking forward to the theoretic snow tomorrow. I made it to my little place out in Dayton in one piece.
The freezer is stocked with beefy goodness. The propane tank was recently refilled, a cord of wood sits ready on the side of the house, and we got a backup generator, baby.
PLUS, PAHC/OTC has had the wisdom of giving 12 hours of winter storm paid time. That's not alot, but since I'm going to be giving my notice at the place as my new years resolution - milk the bastards, I say.
Sorry, snow chains aren't my area of expertise. Of course, the best choice is to just stay home, with good books (the new Harry Potter is a fine choice) and hot chocolatey beverages.
Its everyone else you need to worry about... The cautious drivers do just fine, its the damned fools who *think* they know what they are doing that cause all the problems - especially the Urban SUV crowd with too little experience and too much 'tude. (I'm a SUVer, but I'm Country [and a Colorado, Montana, and Wyoming - Dead of winter veteran], those other SUVers are a little bit Rock n' Roll).
Are your chains, "Chains" or Cords? (Most cars use cords, and are much easier to install). I think studded snow tires are the best option if the pocket book can take a hit of that magnitude.

I'm just sayin that its already freakin snowing up here in Olympia! I am a California girl at heart and I believe the snow is something that you should have to drive to go find, not have it all over your front yard.
Meh!
Well, it looks like we got a "rain check" (pun intended) from the snow for now. I just priced out snow tires for my Jeep and they want about $700 for a set of four. Can you say "Ouch"!!!
The snow will be fun out here in the country (McMinnville-ish area) for about an hour and then it'll suck. For now, its raining so hard out here the raindrops hurt.
Well, its time to start the four day weekend - readily deserved because dealing with "Chuck the Weenie" is taxing on one's soul.
