While I spend the majority of time talking here on Land of Marvels about all the places we travel to, sometimes it’s worthwhile shining a light on my amazing home city of Portland, Oregon. I might be bias, but I’ve got to say, my home city is pretty incredible for lots of different reasons and I would recommend visiting it year round.
However, this year we’ve had quite the Winter here recently including many snow storms (which are usually quite rare) and a lot less rain than normal. So a couple weeks ago when we got hit with a huge blizzard and racked up a foot of snow in downtown Portland, Nick and I took full advantage of the crazy Winter weather and went out to explore like tourists in our own hometown! We also got to play with our new drone a bit (which I can’t wait to start sharing more in video format with!) and take in the snowy city in our hometown. So for your Winter Wonderland wishes… here is (a pretty snowy) Winter in Portland!

As much as I hate driving in snow, especially with as much as we get here in Northern NY, it is really pretty 🙂

It is so pretty…. until it shuts everything down 🙂

Beautiful! I would love to visit Portland someday. I don’t usually think much about traveling when it’s snowing (besides to typically snowy places, like ski destinations,) but Portland would be a great choice.
Casey says
Totally. Well and usually we just have a whole lot of rain in the Winter, but this year we had like 5 snowstorms!

I can’t believe how much snow Portland has gotten this year! I think it has been more than us here in Reykajvik. Even though I know it caused a lot of havoc it sure is beautiful!

I know!!! We’ve had so much snow, I can’t believe it!
