They got seats on the southbound flight and made it out. Last night before heading off to bed, I saw that the flight was enroute to Seattle, so I'm assuming they made it back to Portland sometime during the night.
It's a good thing they got out when they did, because it was just 20 minutes or so later that the clouds and fog and snow all came back with a vengeance, reducing visibility to just across the street. It stayed that way, more or less, for much of the evening.
I think that yesterday's weather changes were one of the strangest that I've ever experienced. One moment, blue skies and sunshine, the next blowing snow and visibility reduced to half a mile or less, and then just as suddenly, blue skies again.
Today, it appears that all of that is behind us. There's just a smooth blanket of snow on the front yard. Now maybe Winter is ready to make way for Spring.
