I loved this list. And sadly, relate to most.
Awesome list! I was only an Oregonian for 18 months (you'll all be so glad to know that I came but didn't STAY!). We loved Oregon but after the twins came, we went home- I needed my Mama!
What I noticed is that the Oregon drivers were CRAZY with how they drove in huge downpours like nothing was going on. I'm over in the slow lane white knuckling it. Of course, the day is snowed 1/2 and inch and everyone stayed home because they were scared to drive in it was my best commute day ever.
As an outsider we also noticed that REAL Oregonians NEVER let the weather dictate their plans. The plans stayed the same, rain or shine!
