There are lots of pictures and stories about people ice skating on the
small lakes (ponds?) around here in winter years ago, but in the 40
years I've lived here, they've never frozen solid enough for that.

I have seen pictures from the early 20th century of the
Willamette River, which runs through Portland, frozen so
solid that cars were able to cross from one bank to the
other. Thankfully, nothing like that in the 70 years I've
lived here.
The Missoula Flood covered the are where Portland, Oregon is
now with 200+ feet of water...150 centuries ago.

Some think that the West Linn Meteorite was floated to it's
location south of Portland on an ice floe during one of
those floods.

I'm thankful for calmer weather.
