Default What's the general consensus reg. weather for the Toy Run?

Z or no Z. As of today all the reports are saying snow levels dropping down to 500 feet on Saturday. No snow accumulation below that. Rain/Snow mix possible but not sticking. I think things will be ok for the most part. Just a little concerned on the drive back to Portland along the I-5 corridor late Saturday afternoon. Sunday will be a different story when an even colder arctic based cold front moves through. So sound off.

not sure how long you've lived in boregon but i've been in washington my whole life and the snow here is a joke. i will not let sh!tty weather stop me from seeing cars and taking toys to children. i'm sure you could chill with some people if you need to wait out a weather spell, or even crash overnight. i'd offer my place but i live with the GF and i'd have to ask her before offering up the couch (which is quite comfy).

Check the Pre Meet thread.
I posted the weather forecast.
It's not looking good and I'm probably not going either.
Even though I did buy gifts for this event, I'll just drop it off at the Toys for Tots donation bin.
