lean and mean, with gnarly bedhead

This is a photo of a track. It's a bit blue.

Since this snowstorm struck Portland just before X-Mas, many people are simply taking off a day or two, or a week here and there, as travelling to and from work, along with other normal business such as shopping, proves difficult for those not used to more than one or two days of snow and ice. Plus, with the ecomony in a recession, many aren't out buying as many things and doing as much stuff. I predict that most of Portland will emerge from their houses after the New Year lean and mean, with some gnarly bedhead.

Most will be thinner financially from missing all those working hours, and some will be thinner physically from walking to 7-11 for supplies instead of driving. Most athletes will naturally exercise a bit less, electing to replace their intervals with a nature walk, or spinning for a couple hours indoors instead of driving to the pool, the gym, or yoga class. But as long as you have right clothing, the weather can't keep you inside for long.
