RE: Snow thunder!!
Totally heard it in my sleep! I knew it wasn't a dream when the dog came running in to hide under the bed!

Unpublished reroute
My favorite line from the Metro weather page, for buses like the 10 and 12:
"Due to adverse weather, this route is operating an unpublished reroute."

Um, yeah, stay home.

PS, way to get from Vita to Victrola and back in an hour, J.

Big ole accident on Madison & 19th
Stay away from Madison at 19th - big accident and people can't get through the intersection. Cars are just pulled over to the side of Madison.

how is it getting ON the hill?
I'm off-hill today at the boyfriend's, but want to return later (in time for the CHCC mixer, of course!) I just need to get to Broadway & Mercer, from Greenwood, and I'm driving. Am I out of luck?

Giant snowglobe
I'm on the 10th floor of the One Union Square Bldg. downtown. Whenever I look out the window, all I can think is "I'm trapped in a giant snowglobe."

On the way to work all the three digit buses going up Olive on their way out of Seattle were moving an inch at a time (literally) with their snow chains on.

I don't know about the buses within downtown and the Hill, but any going to outlying areas are infrequent and ridiculously slow. Good luck everybody.

duh
Just got this "Breaking News" email from the Seattle Times regarding bus service:
King County bus service to be limited for afternoon commute

King County Metro Transit will be focusing on core service until weather and road conditions improve, which means almost all bus service will be significantly limited as we head into the afternoon commute.

Driving
We just drove from the top of the hill to Ravenna Whole Foods and it was ok. The only trouble we had was getting to 10th. We did a little sliding.

trick for posting links
If you post your link in the first line of your comment it will be "hot." Otherwise, you will need to use HTML to make it clickable (I wanted to include the HTML template but it keeps encoding it, sorry).

Thanks for sharing all of your photos and videos of SnowGlobe Seattle 2008!
