Blunty,
1: We don't salt the roads here like you do in God's country... So the entire city turns into a skating rink. It is not bad on the main streets, because they get plowed and graveled, but back in EVERY neighborhood it is just a sheet of ice.
2: Throw into the mix that Portland and Seattle have huge hills everywhere. Portland is built in a valley in between two mountain ranges.... By the way what we refer to as a hill, Minnesotans would call a mountain.
If anyone wants a good chuckle, google Minnesota ski-hill
