We made it safely to Portland. Worst part of the trip was at Main and 18th in Vancouver. It was snowing as we made our way out of town. Stopped for a traffic light with the front wheels in a bit of a trench. When the light turned green, I stepped on the gas pedal and nothing happened! I think the road was so icy that the ABS system kept the wheels from turning. I had to back up out of the trench, then was able to get the car to move forward.
It was sunny in Richmond. The road was dry pretty much all the way to Tacoma. We had some rain and fog after that, but mostly it was OK. The forecast is for snow tomorrow, especially in the mountains. Our current plan is to do some shopping in the morning, then stick to the I5 down to Redding. From there we'll decide where to go next.
