    Hey! Dave should have told me he came to town!

    That said, I will admit that this is really a pathetic snow storm. A few inches and the city is going to be shut down for days. On the bright side, getting to work at home saves me a lot of driving, so, carry on, weather man!

    Agree the inclines can get to you especially when it starts at the garage door.
    Didn't even try to drive when you can't walk up it.

    There is a side trail and it was a three mile walk to the Postal drop box to get the coins on there way today.

    Do they sell snow tires in King County?

    Actually, I was in Spokane during the winter of 1968-69. That was some serious snowfall. When Seattle gets a new record, that's the one they will have to beat.

    For a long time, that was my favorite beer when I lived in Portland. You have good taste!

    It was supplanted by Full Sail's IPA when I moved back to California. I don't know why.image

    New Jersey and you knew that. It's not the hills, it's the lack of plows. And shovels. And knowledge of what do to when it snows. The sidewalks by me are flat... and still treacherous to walk over.

    Yep 25% grades just mean western wa drivers get it over with faster.

    Seen way to many west wa drivers end up on ditches around the tri cities growing up.

    To be fair we don't handle traffic and I-5 very well.

  • rickoricko Posts: 98,724 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Seattle does not handle snow very well... even a little bit. A friend sent me some pictures of one of the articulated buses crosswise on Aloha Street - it is a steep hill. When I lived there, a big storm hit in '92, took me from four PM to ten PM to get home.. 17 miles.. usually a 25 minute trip. Cheers, RickO
  • guitarwesguitarwes Posts: 9,290 ✭✭✭

    When it flurries here in South Ga everything shuts down for the day. Can't imaging dealing with two or three feet of it for months.

    On a side note, is that a boy snowman? The only reason I ask is that apparent appendage on the bottom right. Looks like he might have been "going" when it was snowing.

    It's funny how outraged everyone gets about Seattle's response to snow.

    We get it for what? 2-3 days per year - sometimes not at all! And there are supposed to be thousands of snow plows standing by?? image

    Different in Minn. where I grew up - snows one day, drifts the next 7. The crews are constantly busy. Me and the snow blower made good money when I was a kid. image

    Snow person is gender neutral - that's just some "debri" or water picked up while rolling the base. No yellow snow. image

    BPP is my favorite dark beer of all time, while Fat Tire is my favorite "light" beer. 'Course I'm down right now recovering from pneumonia, so no beer for me. No coin shows either. And those snow photos give me the shivers and make me want to go back to bed...

    Drove home from work tonight - no one on the roads - still snowing - it was absolutely beautiful. Branches hanging so low that a real truck would have had trouble getting through.

    I'm in Texas and I am ready for the snow to leave Seattle.

    Mailed a registered package on the 4th to Oregon. I guess it has to go through Seattle first. My shipment has been sitting in Seattle since the 7th. Who knows when delivery will be made.

    What usually takes 4 days is now on day 17. Kinda running low on patience with this one.

    And, the postal service is losing money. Go figure.
