The city of Seattle pretty much shut down today. Lots of cars abandoned on highways and littered the sides of roads. Schools were closed and school buses are not running. Any streets with even a slight slope, cars were skidding and sliding back down.
So did Kyle make it to work today, you ask? Of course! being the faithful Microsoft employee that he is, he took the bus (his bus had tire chains) because he had a meeting to go to this morning. No way was I driving him, and a good thing too, since it's just crazy out there!
It's not officially the first day of winter yet, but the forecast warned for this crazy weather yesterday and all we got was rain. Until early this a.m when we got dumped on by thundersnow!!. The current temp is -2 degrees celcius or 27 degrees fahrenheit. And here we thought we wouldn't see snow till we went back home for Christmas in Ontario, it's definately unusual weather and record breaking to say the least.
Watch this clip on the Komo news site, it's a little long, but parts of it is kinda funny. Cars with chains trying to make it up the hill, Bartell drugs having a "sale" on sleds for $20 bucks!!
Here's Frosty sleeping in front of the heater vent...pathetic!
