OoHoo, you guys! I just saw one of the accordion busses jackknife slightly, and the back end followed the front end sideways for a block. It was just like Tetris.
I love snow in Seattle. For being as northwestern as we are, nobody seems to know how to deal with an inch or two of coverage.
In other news, I made a snow angel in a parking lot on my walk to work this morning. I suggest you do the same. Even if your butt gets wet, you're only alive and mobile for a limited time.
Posted by Sonya at January 6, 2004 08:42 AMI got up at 4 o'clock this morning to see if it were snowing. It wasn't. Then I heard Evan at 7:30 saying "It's snowing!" and I leaped out of bed.
No school today, my friends! I get to work at home!
Posted by: ida at January 6, 2004 10:32 AMI enjoyed this posting even more when I decided to ignore the word "busses" in sentence two. Whee! Out of control accordions careening through the city streets! Citizens menaced! Film at eleven!
I love snow, especially when I'm not driving in it. I love it so much that I'm going to go make a one-armed snow angel right now (he lost a wing to antiaircraft fire over France. He mostly flies in circles.)
Posted by: flamingbanjo at January 6, 2004 11:04 AMI read "accordions" too and was confused.
Posted by: Erin at January 6, 2004 11:35 AMI was on one of those jack-knifing accordion buses this a.m., having had the foresight to leave MY bus safely in the chain-link fence parking lot at work, so as to avoid jack-knifing accordians. Fortunately (or unfortunately as the case may be) no Tetris like L-shaped sliding was involved, only one or two little wiggly turns where the middle wanted to keep going one way whilst the front & back wanted to go a different way. The three parts eventually decided to go the same direction, so all is well.
Now, I am going home to make snow fish...
Posted by: THE COMTE at January 6, 2004 12:59 PMThe thing is, we're not northwesterners in the Idaho Montana sense. We're northwesterners in the Western Washingotn Oregon sense. It snows here but rarely.
Kind of like England.
Wet and cold.
But not *cold*.
The thing I'm totally boggled by is how many people here seem to have trouble driving in *rain*. I attribute that to the massive California-to-Seattle migration of the late 80's and early 90's.
(whee! hooray for that song title!)
