I love living in Portland. :) - Cameron Metz Fri, 19 Sep 2008 21:26:38 +0100 http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/random-videos/211-dont-go-to-portland-in-the-winter#comment-16951 Portland, MAINE is a completely different story. Severe snow storms happen early and often in what I like to call "Lower Canada" and the only good part about that is, Mainers know how to drive in it! Coming from that background, watching this video just confuses me. I mean... what the hell were they doing? I can't even begin to fathom how you could get a car to perform those stunts on an icy road. Just go slow, brake softly, turn softly and generally try not to drive like an ass.... - 17-A Wed, 17 Sep 2008 00:29:36 +0100 http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/random-videos/211-dont-go-to-portland-in-the-winter#comment-16947 Do they not realize they should just STOP DRIVING? What fools these mortals be.... - WILZIN Tue, 16 Sep 2008 23:12:52 +0100 http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/random-videos/211-dont-go-to-portland-in-the-winter#comment-16601 Two words, folks: TRI-MET! No, we don't get a whole lot of snow in Portland. When we do, however, it's disastrous. I remember one year in high school when my Christmas break was doubled because of how badly it snowed. No, there are usually only two kinds of winter days in Portland: Either it's kinda cold and raining bullets or fucking cold and totally dry. And let me tell you, we can handle rain with the best of them. We Oregonians know how to handle rain. Oh, and what the above poster said about Bend is absolutely true. They get all the snow, for some reason. It's like a foot thick every year, from November 'til February. It's not easy to deal with, but it's lovely. As a parting comment, remember: It's not the snow that hurts you, it's the ice. - Curiosity Inc Sun, 14 Sep 2008 18:27:19 +0100 http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/random-videos/211-dont-go-to-portland-in-the-winter#comment-16596 My guess is that not that many people there see snow that often, so when it does come, then people don't know what to do and how to drive. Also, they aren't using tires made for snow, so they get almost no grip at all on icy roads. Notice how that red car at 0:40~1:10 just skies sideways - Glassbomb Sun, 14 Sep 2008 17:49:51 +0100 http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/random-videos/211-dont-go-to-portland-in-the-winter#comment-12742 Hey, I live in Portland. All the roads were coated in ice that year. I could barely walk down the sidewalk. - Dstone Sun, 24 Aug 2008 16:00:02 +0100 http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/random-videos/211-dont-go-to-portland-in-the-winter#comment-12574 Ha Canada isnt even that bad in the winter! - RonaldMcDonald Sat, 23 Aug 2008 14:46:35 +0100 http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/random-videos/211-dont-go-to-portland-in-the-winter#comment-11808 It like watchin air hockey with cars! :D - rubyfnrox Tue, 19 Aug 2008 11:28:21 +0100 http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/random-videos/211-dont-go-to-portland-in-the-winter#comment-11496 when ever the cars hit something it sounds like a gun shot - tigerthecat5 Mon, 18 Aug 2008 04:55:44 +0100 http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/random-videos/211-dont-go-to-portland-in-the-winter#comment-9810 How stupid do you have to be?

As a someone who has lived in Eugene, I can say this: When we see ONE snow flake, you can bet your boots that school is closed. I'm serious. That's a lot of snow for Oregon. I live in Colorado, now, and I'm from Alaska, so that snow is nothing. But my point is: They're not alcoholics or idiots, they just never see snow.[/i] hehe! the funny thing about that is, in Bend, it's a winter wonderland! - Mr.wierdo Sun, 27 Jul 2008 18:08:37 +0100 http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/random-videos/211-dont-go-to-portland-in-the-winter#comment-7155 You see, the thing about Oregon is: IT NEVER SNOWS.

It IS possible to get around in that stuff if you know what you're doing. - Stonedonkey Mon, 21 Jul 2008 16:14:42 +0100 http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/random-videos/211-dont-go-to-portland-in-the-winter#comment-5211 ahhhh idiots - fredigood2 Fri, 11 Jul 2008 08:38:58 +0100 http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/random-videos/211-dont-go-to-portland-in-the-winter#comment-5000 Awwww.
