Portland communities deal with tough driving conditions and school closures

Accumulating snow in residential neighborhoods west of Portland made driving conditions difficult on Thursday.

A KATU crew spent several hours in the Hillsdale neighborhood where a UPS driver and others were able to make it up a hill over soft snow.

However, that same snow on the ground began to harden as freezing rain fell over some areas along Southwest Capitol Highway near Sunset Boulevard.

Meanwhile, some families spent the afternoon taking advantage of the weather by sledding downhill at a local park.
