Thomas - Hahahaha....will save some snow, and send you a care package, say around late August.  It goes well with a bit of bourbon or scotch!

In case anybody thinks Seattle takes itself seriously, here is a local blogger's posts we've been sharing (I skipped several listings that just had local humor in them, I ain't got the time to explain Howard Schulz to y'all).   Still, some explanations are probably necessary...

- In the second image - PCC is a local organic food co-op, where everything costs about twice what the non-organic stuff does.
- in the 4th image, "the 5" refers to interstate highway 5, the main route through town.

Now THAT is a snowfall. Unless it is one of Georges models, rather than a real truck...

I live NNW 40 miles from Seatattle and that fellow is exaggerating only a bit. It was better this year than a few years ago when 4" of snow shut the whole place down! No one was ready, especially the road crews. :shrug:

This year was better without the major roadways being shut. They had the plows and plans ready. :slap:

The blog is really funny! :lolb:

Dave,
I thought that semi photo was from the way back machine, when was the last time you saw a cab-over with a sleeper and bias ply tires?

Pete, don't forget they did shut down I-90 for several days...but mostly because that's the hiway that idiots without chains try and go over, leading to muli-car pileups.  The higher passes stayed open...
