Good thing I work from home.

    I like the close ups.

    That lady (Jen Hogan) at the end sounds like she might be a South African that has been in America for a while (and now has a strange mix of the two accents).
  • dalas verdugo staff 2 years ago
    Yeah, I was thinking South African myself.
  • brianbrown 2 years ago
    she goes southern for a second.
  • Jakob Lodwick plus 2 years ago
    It sounds like an alien!
  • jendreams 2 years ago
    I was thinking Australian, and then it went southern, and from then on I was just mystified.
  • Buck Flashroy plus 2 years ago
    I know I'm really sad, but after all this talk I wanted to find out. Here it explains that she is originally Austrailian koin.com/Global/story.asp?S=5366920&nav=menu494_10_2
    Atleast I assume this is the same Jen Hogan. In my defence I hardly scoured the web to find out - I literally googled 'Jen Hogan Portland Reporter', and this was the first link that it returned.
  • dalas verdugo staff 2 years ago
    yeah, that's her.
  • Paul McClintock 2 years ago
    Oh god, that's a horrible mixture of accents. She's just wobbling back and forth. I'm afraid I'm never going to be able to move to Portland now for fear I'll end up sounding like her.
  • Jonathan Marcus plus 2 years ago
    Definitely not South African! I was born in SA. Its an Australian accent. Hysterical though because she definitely went in and outta accent!

    Isn't great how snow in portland means all regular tv programing is cancelled so that we can have endless news coverage? It makes it seems really intense.

    I guess it is intense though.... snow is such a rarity and it always catches us portlanders with our pants down.
  • dalas verdugo staff 2 years ago
    Yeah, snow is no problem in a place like Rochester, NY. This would be a typical day in Rochester. I had to drive through this crap for months every year for 4 years.

    Portland doesn't have the equipment to deal with this stuff, tho.

    In my hometown of Charleston, SC, even a hint of snow in the air throws them into a panic.
  • staceyv 2 years ago
    Yeah we're already having delayed school and early closing for schools about an hour away from here (I'm at the North/South Carolina border) because of frost I guess?
  • jendreams 2 years ago
    Yay snow in OR!
  • meg 2 years ago
    I made it to my studio just fine!
  • patsevc 2 years ago
    Yeah, the snow has been a great surprise, but walking to the store in 17 degree weather both ways is getting old.

    yeah, we got some awesome snow in rochester, and no one even played in it! everyone was just like "alright. undeground tunnel time."
  • dalas verdugo staff 2 years ago
    The underground tunnels were so awesome.

    On our recent snowday, someone built a fort and got pizza delivered to the "igloo in the parking lot"

    Also, it was our 2nd snow day in the campus's history, the other was 13 years ago.

    thanks to the flash converter for picking a decent thumbnail.
  • Tallulah 2 years ago
    Yeah, that thumbnail would make a great Christmas card...

    In Louisville if it snows more than 2" schools get called off for the day and everyone rushes to the grocery to purchase can goods and bottled water.

    Great idea to play the audio from the weather report.

    I miss the Northwest!! I miss the snow.
    I remeber that whenever we got snow in Seattle, the city would shut down, half an inch would be enough.
    Seattle DOT doesn't have the equipmet or manpower for this rarity.
    I grew up in the cascade mountains, so it would take more like ten feet of snow to shut down a town.
    Thanks for the video, brought back memories.

    omg..it's snowing crazily here too...it's like 0 degree..

  • Paul McClintock 2 years ago
    It must be so nice to have snow once in a while, even on rare occasions. It's so oppressively hot in Melbourne right now (yesterday got to something like 39 degrees celcius), it's the middle of the day and I'm hiding from the outside, typing, wearing nothing but shorts.

    If it snowed here, I'm sure the city would shut down - but in a good way. A holiday would be declared, I'm sure of it. But right now, we're having blackouts because of the bushfires. The air smells like smoke.

    I'm suffering here in Melbourne too.
    Snow is soooo much better than hot weather.

    the newscasters were painful to listen to (they seem to talk a lot and say nothing) but it was an interesting contrast to the peaceful visuals.
  • dalas verdugo staff 2 years ago
    Yeah, and they just kept repeating themselves over and over again. It must be a horrible job.

    Still, I like waking up to that nonsense. It's kind of comforting because they sound the same as they did when I was a little kid getting ready to go to school.

    I'm jealous! I've been cursed (or blessed?) to live in warm places all my life, and have only seen snow once. My resolution this year is to see more snow!
  • Denis Kabistan 2 years ago
    Oh man ! Freezing yourself off is not a good feeling. (I hate Snow !)

    i like that when something triggers a vivid
    memory. charleston used to have a radio station - WOKE - with a certain jingle. It was still around when i was an adult and if i happened to hear that jingle it took me back. especially to a time when pop's mother was in town from delaware and staying in my bedroom. so i was staying on a cot next to granny's side of the bed. i guess it was for a few school days at least 'cause i remember waking up to their radio alarm with that jingle. i think it was actually soothing to me.....i always hated having a room to myself. granny had pop, harry had randy, and i was alone. i thought that stunk.

    WOKE Charleston radio, WOKE Charleston radio, WOKE Charleston radio, the talk of the town.....(to chimy type music)

  • jennihogan 2 years ago
    Hi everyone, It's Jen Hogan here. YES it's an Aussie accent. I'm sure it's a bit of a mix because I've lived in the states for quite a few years. Hugs and kisses, J-Ho
