I was in Portland on Feb 22., the day they got nearly a foot of snow. If my geography is up to speed McMinnville isn't to far away. Luckily, I finished my business there and was headed back north on I-5 around 3. Many people who left later were stranded on the freeways around there all night or abandoned their cars where they sat.

But did you design any airplanes?

Those cut rafters and the scabbed on pieces look exceedingly sketchy. I'm sure they would not pass any kind of inspection.
