A dusting of snow in Seattle means two wrecks -- one in each direction -- on the 520 bridge.

Quoted: Crashes on both directions of the 520 bridge forced troopers to shut down the bridge while they worked to clear the wrecks.

Hmm, not too optimistic about my flight tomorrow morning. Keeping fingers crossed though.

Quoted: We're likely going to see more snow tonight, and when things warm up later this week, there's a good chance of urban flooding as rain and melting snow overwhelm clogged or frozen storm drains, according to Johnny Burg, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Seattle.

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

Oh well. I was hoping my name would show up someday.

Quoted: The Atlantic is assigned six lists of names, with one list used each year. Every sixth year, the first list begins again.

umm, yay.

Heard about this crazy pileup on the news. Amazing that no one was seriously injured.

Quoted: Conditions on I-90 east of North Bend included gusty winds, blowing snow and compact snow and ice on the highway when the big rig jackknifed and collided with the trooper's car, Merrill said.
...
The trooper, who was unhurt, had been assisting a car that had rolled over about 15 minutes earlier at the same site, Merrill said. A truck towing a trailer came next, hitting the side of the tractor-trailer rig. Other vehicles soon followed, resulting in the 30-vehicle pileup, he said.

Umm..the snow is coming down at a pretty good clip right now. There's an inch or two on my street.
