Seattle online 911 log shows 13 motor vehicle accidents so far today:http://www2.cityofseattle.net/fire/realTime911/getRecsForDatePub.asp?action=Today&incDate=&rad1=des
Heh, also: SDOT has set traffic signals on flash mode at hills, steeper grades and other key locations to reduce the need for traffic to come to a full stop. When approaching a flashing yellow signal, drivers should slow as they approach the intersection. These drivers are never going to learn how to brake in the snow now!

and yes, people here can't drive in the snow -- that could have something to do with the fact that i think this is the third time i've seen it stick in the 5 years i've been here, and also that yes matos, people simply cannot drive in seattle in the first place...

Lyra, your mate would be lost in Buffalo. A mate out there posted pics on his site last Winter just after a snowstorm, where you couldn't see the tops of the mailboxes....or the parked cars.
(BTW, Pretty puppy, too.)
And I still plan to visit Seattle after seeing all those pics! I'm feeling brave.

Snow yesterday was FABULOUS on the east side - much romping outside in the street where we live. Much snowball throwing. Much me falling on my ass.

the snow yesterday was the worst in 8 years -- i was actually surprised that like no one plowed into my truck parked on a fairly major thoroughfare, that the buses mostly ran all day, etc.

We had a snowstorm digital photos comparison fest at work. Some people got great ones of cars skidding backwards down the roads around here, and there was one of a toyota smushed into the back of the Real Networks building by a taxi.

My prof, who lives up in Vancouver, WA, said it was a winter wonderland up there, but although it snowed a bit there was no sign of anything sticking around here -- except the occasional snow-covered car driving by, mysteriously out of place.

Yeah, it was graupelmania around 9:30-10:00. Now, nothing in central Seattle, just wet. Mid- to upper-40s all next week. No white Xmas for sic.
― kate78, Friday, 20 December 2013 21:36 (ten years ago) link
no graupel for me today. i ended up going to work at 10:30 out of guilt for being at home when everyone else made it in, and i could hear the snow melting all around me.
nice picture, anky!

I was really hoping to avoid another snowstorm this week. My divorce is being finalized on Tuesday and I really don’t want that delayed and we’re going to Ohio Wednesday night for a hockey tournament so I really want to be able to leave.

Here in Portland we got hit with snow, sleet and freezing rain in alternating waves. There's a good third of an inch of ice on everything outside my window, but we've kept our electricity so far. Might be more ice coming tonight. I fucking hate ice storms.
