It’s Still an Icy Hellscape, Portland. I write this from Michigan, where the inches of snow are accumulating and it’s something like 11 degrees Fahrenheit. But damn it, that’s how Michigan’s supposed to be. You, poor Portlander, are beset and imprisoned by unsporting ice.
And ice means crashes, if you have to commute with your Christmas hangover.
Not helping matters? Water main breaks and other such proofs that Portland is not built for a real winter.
Be careful this morning – many roads are covered in ice. This is near NE 122nd and I84. #kgwweather #kgwnews @KGWNews pic.twitter.com/wv7TOjAMEU

DO IT, HARRY: The UK’s best-looking royal really wants to invite the Obamas to his upcoming nuptials, which has set off some concerns about slighting Donald Trump. DO IT, HARRY.
What else? Well, a topless woman demonstrating against patriarchy in the Catholic church stormed a Vatican nativity scene yesterday, but was stopped before she could snatch the baby Jesus.
Other random post-Christmas news banality: This Pennsylvania woman got a $284 BILLION ELECTRIC BILL.
The World Health Organization says playing video games too much should be classified as a mental disorder, which means I was suffering pretty severely when Cool Boarders 2 came out in 1997.
Looks like you’ve still got some winter to contend with tomorrow, y’all.
