No, that doesn’t have enough “fright factorâ€.
How about “Run for cover, it’s the Seattle Snow-Pocalypse!�
Almost, but not quite.
OK, here we go….
“Polar Onslaught! We’re all gonna die!â€
Yeah, that is the ticket!
Yep, Seattle is “bracing†for 3-6 inches (or some other piddling amount) of snow tonight and tomorrow to cover up the 1-2 inches we had Sunday morning (and that is almost gone).
I’m making sure Buddy has his provisions (safety and recovery gear), but am otherwise ready for whatever Canada has in store for us (you did know that their second largest export was snow, right?).
Oh, and unlike when we get record high temperatures in the summer, which always mean the planet is warming, record low temperatures in the winter do not mean the planet is cooling.
The cries of “Weather is not Climate!†are being shouted across the land at every opportunity.
Pics if I can find the camera in my moving boxes.
“you did know that their second largest export was snow, right?”
I’m curious, what’s their top export? Lumber, Coal, Oil, Big rocks, Mediocre Beer, Liberal Politics?
Here are some pics

I love my new Nikon D60 (a gift from my wife).
You only got 1-2 inches?
Man we got 4+ inches, it was awesome.
Driving with all the yahoos on the road wasn’t quite as awesome.
SNOWAPOCALYPSE 2008!
In my neck of the woods SE of Portland we had 5+ inches. Now it’s ice. I can’t wait for the next two weeks! WOOO!
Luckily I can work from home.
Indeed my biggest concern is and always shall be the other yahoos on the road.
Super expensive SUV (Range Rover) = driving WAY over cautiously.
Cheap SUV (not a cool rig but an Explorer or such) = driving super dangerously.
Pickup truck = split the difference, 50/50 sensible and knowedgeable vs. crazy, with no weight in the bed, sliding all over the road.
We got snow on all the surrounding mountains, the cold air is rolled downhill to the bottom of the valley/bay area where all the people live – damn it’s cold.
Everybody knows that Canada’s main export is maple syrup.
I’m rooting for at least a few inches of snow. I didn’t even get a chance to take my rig to an empty parking lot for some fun before the last snowfall melted off the pavement.
