A snowstorm on the morning of Jan 16th 2007 left about 3-4 inches of snow and ice on the ground in Portland, Oregon. This is what happens to people with too much confidence in their 4WD and zero experience driving on icy snow.

Video was taken around SW Salmon and 20th Avenue, which is pretty steep (to be fair).

  • just FYI, i havent ...

    just FYI, i havent "recently" moved to oregon. i live on the other side of the mountain where we actually get snow.
    what im trying to say is the reason that there are scenes like this in poortland when it does snow is because they dont know how to deal with it. they havent had to deal with it much, and the 1 or 2 times it happens. stuff like this happens. yet over here in sisters, we get along just fine. why? because we have to deal with it. so people either deal, or get out.

    mwahahaha. I live in Portland and this was so hillarious to me. I mean that's shitty for all the people involved of course. But I love how we get barely any snow at all and the entire town forgets how to function! haha. Everyone just should have stayed the hell inside and stuck to one of the things us Oregonian's know best....

  • Recommendation to ...

    Recommendation to residents: Block the street. Technically you're not suppose to. But in a situation like this, go to the top of the hill and lay out some road flares.
