There's a reason the famous lyric is since we've no place to go, let it snow...If you have places to go, snow isn't any fun. And it's an order of magnitude worse here where we simply aren't used to it and don't know how to deal with it. It snowed in Seattle Wednesday night starting about 4:30. On the plateau, we got seven inches. Monica left work in Everett at 4:20 and by 7:20 she had only made it to Redmond -- 30 miles, all highway and usually an hour in traffic. And that was the fast part. Of course, this incident didn't help. She never made it home and wound up turning around and heading back to Bellevue (8 miles, 15 minutes) and spending the night at a friend's house.
Right now everything is still covered in snow, though it's melted down to a couple of inches in the sunny area and three or four in the shade. It was supposed to be mid 30s and sunny today but was overcast and never got above freezing and we actually got some more flurries. Tommorow is supposed to be 35; we can only hope, though I'll be inside watching football either way.
