SNOW in SEATTLE ((picture thread))

got stuck at 23rd & Union yesterday morning. It took 20 minutes and 2 additional guys to free the car. We bailed on our plan to drive to Olympia. Had to work up in Mountlake Terrace today and got stuck in their parking lot - then it snowed all friggin' day. grrr.

so it's still snowing? i wouldn't know, being in california and all

north of like 145th st it was still snowing, though air temps were around 35. Starting around Northgate, it was more rainy. Rain mixed with snow forecast for overnight, but hopefully temps up into the 40s tomorrow. Enjoy California and bring home some dry weather + sunshine plz.

I spent most of Christmas day helping to push people's cars around. I was kinda pissed at my friend for even trying to drive in the first place, but somehow with the help of a neighbor and his kids, plus some valuable advice from a cop across the street who yelled through his megaphone at us, we actually managed to get out onto Aurora. Then when we got to his house, we helped some more people.

What I learned is if the car isn't moving forwards, try going in reverse a little and then moving forward again. Repeat.

holy shit those buses!!!!

I've never been so damn glad for it to rain and rain and rain. Snow/slush has been reduced to small filthy piles at the corners of intersections and parking lots.

holy shit those buses!!!!

Yeah, no kidding. I was listening to this lady tell another guy at the bus stop her bus horror stories and expecting to get this "OMG" reaction. Little did she seem to understand that both the dude and myself had horror stories of our own.

It's all melting away!

That drizzle sure is a potent snow removal device!

well, having it be above freezing at night for once helps too

You know, thanks to all of this, I now know what cabin fever feels like. I didn't really suffer it, but I was *just* about to.

damn there is still so much snow in Everett right now way more than Lynnwood

Doh, I totally lost those original images that I created this thread with. I still have this one, can't remember if it's from that storm or not:

I hear that Nichols is now saying that they'll use salt in future massive snowmageddons. At least they finally learned ;-)

there's a good layer of snow in bellevue right now

wtf

There's a good layer of snow in Lynnwood right now. Really coming down. Not even all the old snow had quite melted away. This fucking winter.

i can't believe this winter wonderland bullshit AGAIN

i just drove from anacortes to seattle and the I-5 was f'ing hairy the whole way

check this out, i shot it tonight going from friday harbor to anacortes

how were the San Juans?

it's a great place, even in the dead of winter. veeery quiet new year's. and i saw snow up there the other night, a first!

I have gotten stuck on Orcas overnight cause I missed the last ferry haha.

^LUCKY

don't know what this map means but omg beautiful

Fremont got horizontal freezing rain which quickly turned to rain. It's supposed to be 40s tomorrow so all of today's stuff will melt if not already.

Spokane is getting another 6-8 inches of snow. It is really a snowpocalypse on Eastern WA

"oh but the Coast'ers always get the wet weather, while it's nice sunny and dry here!". Oops

Thirdly, LYRA! How is NJ treating you? It's been so long!

"oh but the Coast'ers always get the wet weather, while it's nice sunny and dry here!". Oops

I got fooled by this the first winter I was here. It was sunny and dry, relatively speaking. Last year was bad, but I was told it was an exception. This year is just killing me.

I grew up in remote-ass upper Michigan where we got over 200 inches a year on average, but I thought I moved away from that. Eastern WA has none of the infrastructure, mindset, or outdoor activities necessary for me to put up with this kind of insanity.

I redact the Fremont statement. I woke up to snow and slush this morning.

Joygoat, are you doing ok? I assume you are ok enough to post here, but thought I'd ask

He's okay until he starts threatening people with bicycle chainrings that are NO GOOD IN THIS WEATHER.

Hi, Seattle! Did everyone have to walk to work again today?

Not me. My bus actually arrived on time and wasn't as packed as normal.

Yesterday was a lot of wet, heavy snow i.e. most of it was off the roads in hours.

December was below freezing during most of the snow, so those were the walkin' days.

Joygoat, are you doing ok? I assume you are ok enough to post here, but thought I'd ask

Oh yeah, it's totally fine. Sounding dire and insane about winter weather is kind of par for the course for me. Shoveling the 12" of snow this morning was kind of fun in a crazy "I can't believe I have to do this" way.

It's kind of post-apocalypsey outside right now. You're not supposed to see snowplows stuck on the side of the road. Thank you AWD Subaru, and to think we thought about selling you because we didn't need 4 wheel drive out here.

haha, well I hate to say this, knowing fully about the pain being suffered in Spokane, but the pictures I've seen make the place look like heaven. Mainly the trees.

I mean, http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=spokane%20snow&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi

This could take all day, but DAMN

is there still snow on the ground in other places? when i woke up this morning there was just a bit of slush on the sides of the street, that's it.

There is here, but I'm a few miles inland and we never completely got rid of the last bunch.

I have gotten stuck on Orcas overnight cause I missed the last ferry haha.
OMG, you lucky bum. I love Orcas. But that ferry ride on a Sunday afternoon in the summer is obnoxious... I was out there in August, we waited through like 3 ferries before we caught one back. I still can't believe all the snowmageddon stories and photos. Who knew it was possible for seattle to get more than a half inch of snow?

Thirdly, LYRA! How is NJ treating you? It's been so long!

HELLO ILX I MISSED YOU. NJ has been kicking my ass, fuck suburbs. At least I get to into NYC every day for work, some consolation. :P

that last pic of spokane is WOW

i took the bus this morning and it was on time. slush was everywhere today, but nothing icy.

fuck no

is it bad there? the hill's got some dust but nothing more.

Still some down here in pdx, too

there's snow but it was only a dusting here and it's 34 degrees here and getting warmer, so I'm not too concerned yet

Yeah we got some pretty snowy action last night!
I was at this dude's apartment in Belltown and it was really pretty outside when you looked at the light where it was falling. An inconsequential snow, but still pretty.

Matos: no, but I'm just really sick of the entire concept of snow

it's flurrying right now in Fremont
