Awesome snow dog!

Amen.

Quoted: Common sense dictates that you have a plan for freakish emergencies, even those that happen only once every decade.
...
In this case, three things:
...
1. Use salt to melt ice when it risks crippling the city for days
2. Close off streets that are impassable with police and official sign barricades
3. Hire private contractors to help with the plowing efforts
...
These measures will not cost hundreds of millions. They should not impact the environment to any significant degree if only used every decade or so.

Just checked on my car after four days. And, the snow is coming down now harder than ever.

Pictures of people sledding down Denny Way & Bellevue using a variety of apparatus @ 12:30am

For those who don't live here, Denny is normally a relatively highly trafficked site.

good info on the coming storm

yikes!!!!! this is why driving down denny in the snow is stupid.

Quoted: A couple of charter buses with dozens of people aboard slid and crashed into each other on Capitol Hill and crashed through the guardrail on Melrose Street.

very cool - busses to Stevens on weekends and holidays.

Remember when snow days meant snowball fights, building forts, and a day off from school? Now, they just mean having to shovel the driveway. Lucky for us, the snow blower can make the job a lot less arduous. Find cab blowers, gas, electric and tractor snow blowers from Poulan, Husqvarna, MTD, Murray and Toro.

This has been my experience this season so far, as well.

Quoted: The volume of snow makes the descent to the lake extremely difficult and Seattlest wasn’t interested in becoming another Snow Lake fatality. Normally hikers drop several hundred feet down to the shores, but this summer that won’t be reasonably safe for at least another month
