Nasty nasty roads. I got through before a bunch of crashes on the interstate. I got lucky for once. It's backed up for miles.
Tomorrow morning looks to be bad too. Hoping for delay or snow day, because it's going to be really icy. |
Perhaps you should be safe and ride your bicycle.

...with your headphones on.

But it's like 5 billion miles. :eek:
Uphill both ways. maybe a moped. |

It's been pretty snowy. Please, all my friends in Colorado, Pennsyltucky, Maine, etc. I know this is not a lot of snow, relative to the measurements recorded in some places. I know. We're snow lightweights here.
However. Our suffering is no less. We're unaccustomed to much snow here at sea level. And those parts that aren't at sea level usually aren't on any level at all. Lots of hills here. If you're place isn't on a hill, the place you want to get to is beyond several hills. Treacherous. I traveled a little to go get SonofV yesterday, here are some pictures of my journey. My trusty steed, parked in relative shelter. Attachment 36843 I've never ridden the ferry in a snowstorm. It was cold and miserable and unphotogenic. Attachment 36844 Local firemen keeping their driveway clear. Attachment 36845 Cruddy slushy streets heading north along the water. Attachment 36846 |

Olympic Sculpture Park featuring typewriter eraser of the gods and a very hardcore bicyclist.
Attachment 36847 My street. Not plowed. Seattle's VASTLY improved snow plan over the disaster of 2008 meant that side streets went unplowed. Fine. Attachment 36848 My snug little house under a blanket of snow. I think my stairs are in there somewhere... Attachment 36851 Side streets not plowed, arterials plowed. Here's one. Still LOTS of snow on the ground and too cold (thank goodness) to melt into slush. Attachment 36852 |
Yuck. Even an inch or two can be bad if your city has no snow removal equipment.

4 degrees this morning.
For you people playing along at home in other countries, thats -15 C. Minus. brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr |

They're skiiing on my street. I saw dozens of people skiing in the city. It was kinda cool.
Attachment 36853 Those hills? See what I mean? Attachment 36854 Freeways open, this is I-5. I traveled between 30 and 45 mph the whole trip and that was *plenty* fast enough, thanks. Attachment 36855 Just a pretty shot of the neighborhood. Attachment 36856 We got home safely. Another snow day today, one they'll regret in June. It's supposed to warm up and rain today. That means lots of mess and local flooding. |
From the picture of your house, it's apparent that you don't get much snow. Otherwise you wouldn't have those bushes growing right up against the steps and sidewalk.
How are you going to shovel that? |

Seriously? Only 30 for a city the size of Seattle? How many miles of roads does Seattle have? Do the math.

I hear you about the hills. I feared snow/ice storms during the time I lived in Cincinnati, and I had a little front wheel drive at the time.
