I am hoping for 24 hour coverage from the local stations:

PORTLAND, Ore. - An early winter blast of light snow moved into the Northwest Monday as temperatures dropped and higher elevations saw light accumulations of snow. Snow fell at lower elevations but was not sticking to well-traveled roadways Monday morning. ODOT cameras showed snow falling at many busy intersections and highways, but it was not sticking to most roads. In outlying areas where the snow was heavier and temperatures colder, schools closed or were delayed, and police were kept busy with traffic problems and stranded motorists. The snow level is expected to remain low through the day on Monday in the Portland area with temperatures remaining in the 30s or low 40s most places, including the coast.

Winter blast? No snow actually stuck on the ground. What will the news call it if we actually get 6 inches of snow? Winter Holocaust 2006? Ice Armageddon ‘07? I hope it does snow a bit this year: the boy would play in the white stuff until his hands and feet have frostbite, and even then probably won’t want to stop.
