Wow! Ok Ed you win! I will remember that tomorrow when I am walking through downtown Calgary that I don't have it that bad. Who am I kidding, I hate the cold snaps... I will whine like a little baby!
Our power has been flickering all night, but that is why we have backup power supplies for all our TVs and computers, this happens all the time up here :aktion034: I really hope it starts raining so I can get some stuff done - I have been trapped in my house for 3 days because it is too dangerous to drive. I have an appointment to get my eyelashes permed and tinted - can't miss that!! LOL, seemed like a good idea for the trip, but probably not worth risking my life driving on sheet ice to Issaquah!! Those who see me next week, if my eyes look totally fab, you'll know I made it safely to the spa :aktion033:
LOL Diana, what the hell is a snow day. We never have those. It's been minus 43 with the windchill and everything still goes on and on. It has been a good year for the snow though.
Glad you got back before the cold hit. Last time we were at Lutsen, I took garbage out the dumpster and a black bear stuck his head out to greet me. Don't know who was more suprised, but I think I ran fastest.
That sucks. We've been watching the Seattle news on tv...the city is crazy...they've shown people skiing down city streets and buses jack-knifed from trying to get up the streets. D
I remover snowstorm 2001 when Seattle was shut down for two days for 6" of snow. We only get a snow day if 6" is during commute time. But, Boston got only our second measurable snowfall yesterday...and we don't even have 3" total this season. Expecting 6" today though.
It rarely snows here so when it does, it is like the zombie apocalypse or something!! What really hit hard was the ice storm on Thursday morning, that has been a nightmare for Seattle on so many levels!! We are on day 3 without power, it is freezing cold, trees are down everywhere because of the heavy ice and everyone has been trapped!! It finally warmed above freezing yesterday afternoon and rained a little so the roads are more slushy than icy, but the no power thing really sucks!! If we don't get it turned on by today, we are going to lose hundreds of dollars in freezer food :-( it was ok when it was below freezing outside, but now everything will thaw without power soon! We are so ready to leave in 4 days, WE need to thaw!! I just hope the power comes on before we leave!!
We moved to the Seattle area a couple years ago fom KC. Still think it's funny how the city shuts down in the snow. I actually looked foward to getting up and driving to work this week.
