weather

Um, yeah, it's hot.

Quoted: "Brutal" temperatures are predicted for the Seattle area on Wednesday as a record heat wave afflicting the Pacific Northwest continues, a National Weather Service meteorologist said.

My latest blog post...

Quoted: It's hard to mention Seattle to outsiders without someone cracking a joke about umbrellas, rain slickers, galoshes, or various other rain accoutrements that Seattleites barely use.

Quoted: Gloat away, Seattle. This week's weather is absolutely boomin'. After the jump, see how we house the rest of America's big cities. Yes, Chicago can suck it.

Amen, brotha. I'm getting so sick of the complacency.

Quoted: The local government response to the 2008 snowstorm has broken the mold. It has, hopefully, frayed our often unquestioning trust in city and county officials.

Let the awesomeness continue ... Also, Continental's one de-icing truck broke, leaving Mo's flight (and many others) sitting with passengers on board for hours waiting for a new truck. I mean ... no back-up?

Quoted: More than a dozen emergency crews are responding to a Sea-Tac Airport terminal Wednesday morning, after fumes for liquid de-icer got into an Alaska Airlines aircraft, causing painful eye irritation for passengers.

What timing---coincidentally, at the exact time those buses crashed at the corner of Melrose & Thomas last Friday, there was a "Virtual Reality" photographer right there, just doing his job to take another panoramic photo of Seattle from Capitol Hill.

Here is his blog entry about it--and following 2 really great panoramic images (from both sides of the buses) of the accident scene.

woot - looks like it'll be in the 80's for the rest of our stay!

Quoted: 10 day weather forecast for Cancun, Mexico with weather conditions, high and low temperatures, and precipitation.

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