[aubstuh86]

cold as balls today.

 

[bruza]

i'm a be out there wednesday.

they're talking about delaying one of my projects near Tacoma. they say the city shuts down entirely in snowy/ icy conditions.

 

[dmbrhs]

The ice is what's killer because of all the hills. Get any type of moisture on the ground and it's game over for Seattle. And considering it won'tget above freezing for a week, it's going to be ugly out there.

 

[dunks206]

Took a couple pics when I woke up...

this snow has really limited to all the things I COULD be doing to enjoy this winter break ive worked all quarter long to earn

ugh...snow was so much cooler in grade/high school cause everyone would be willing to gear up and walk miles to meet up and stay out..
now everyone including myself is jus either too lazy or figure the coldness not worthy of steppin foot out the house...

I KNOW. Man this is some BS

I'm trying to go out & do a bunch of stuff.
Forecast of 2-5 inches tomorrow for Seattle.... 4-10 inches out where I live

 

[brendanmaguire]

thanks for all the updates. it does limit things but it gets me out of school.

No joke I was wearing the same shoes on Saturday.

Now that I drive I hate the snow and the ice even more, the only good part is missing school and not making it up (I'm a senior in HS). It sucks becausehanging out is made so much harder because of the snow and how slow I have to drive. This weekend I was the designated driver and the ice was beyond annoying.

 

[seattle206]

man, its 11:23pm and still no sign of powder yet. what gives? more the better!

Snow should come around in the early morning hours..... with the more heavy snowfall starting around 7ish?
Something along those lines....

At this point I'll be shocked if there isn't a few inches of snow on the ground when I wake up tomorrow (at 11is).
We shall see!

 

[brendanmaguire]

no sign of snow in the seattle area

 

[dmbrhs]

Way to go on the forecast...and snow shadow?....are we just making up words on the fly today to save face?

 

[tbone95860]

So much for the forecasts.... It's TOO WARM outside!
