Snow

My wife is very excited because it snowed last night. This is rare on this side of the state. I grew up in Spokane so I am not excited at all for snow. Not because I don't like it, but because the greater Seattle area can't function in snow. No one knows how to drive. SUV's and 4 wheel drive trucks figure out that snow won't stop them from going, but they usually find out too late that 4 wheel drive does not help you stop.

Hopefully it will melt today.

From "the wife"...
In defense of us snow retards from the western half of the state, I would like to point out that the news reported there were hardly any accidents & people did very well driving in the snow. Perhaps we've finally learned? Doubtful, as that would be the end of the fun Seattle fact that two inches of snow will completely shut it down. We've gotta be known for something besides rain!
Oh, and I hope it snows tonight...and tomorrow. Cause I'm a deprived snow bunny from Puget Sound.
