Well, we broke our record!

[pokerfan]

As of yesterday, 45.2 inches has fallen here (Spokane) shattering our old record for December snowfall. Records have been kept since 1881.

Of course, that's not the biggest problem. The biggest problem is:

a) most of it has fallen in the last ten days
b) none of it has melted
c) that amount doesn't include the six inches we got overnight
d) the fact that it's snowing right now with another 4-6 inches on the way

1. Wow!!

I *love* that kind of weather... when I don't have to go anywhere... and I still have power... And the shelves are fully stocked!! :)

3. I need to buy a snow blower

My back hurts from shoveling.

2. We've gotten about 15 inches total in WI

not a problem normally, but now it is all melting and it is currently raining so I am under a "flash flood" warning. In frigging WI, in frigging Dec. :crazy:

4. Yeah, snow can melt faster than it can rain

so flooding can be a problem in many places.

5. I live in Bothell and it's pretty bad.

Woodinville had lost electricity so they were hurting.

I flew out of Seatac yesterday morning at 7:45 aand I arrived in Atlanta in the afternoon.

Yesterday, I woke up at 3:00 am, walked the dogs, and loaded the car. I took my shower and then dressed in my winter gear. My traveling clothes were in a bag, because if i got stuck I didn't want to mess up my traveling clothes trying to push the car.

At 4:00 am I managed to get out of the apt complex (apt hasn't done shit to the roads and the entrance/exit hills). Got on 405 and it wasn't horrible but it started sleeting, not a lot of traffic. Takes me an hour to get to the airport and I planned on parking at the airport because my roommate was coming back the same day and she would drive the car home. Took my 1 hr to find parking basically because I had to look for someone to leave. I parked and changed clothes in the car, left her the big winter coat and her snow boots. Flight left on time at 7:45 am.

Landed in Atlanta and I texted two of my friends and said, "Just landed in ATL - No Snow". Needless to say they weren't totally amused.



Note to self:
Buy two shovels,
Buy a snow blower

Lesson Learned: I would rather be over prepared than not.

Stay safe and Warm my friends.
