MARCH 28th Snow!!

Post by Sounder »

It's snowing like crazy in downtown Seattle, but fortunately it's not sticking... well, yet.

Is anyone on the eastside? Is it sticking yet? Bellevue? Issaquah? ....SNOW-qualmie Ridge?!

sticking on roofs, grass and general shrubbery just north of Seattle. Fortunately not the roads because people already drive way crazy around my neighborhood.

We've got about a half inch so far, and it's still snowing HARD. Temp is down to 32.

Does anybody else think this winter has WAY overstayed its welcome?

People forgot how to drive, a shiny new looking pickup took out 30 feet of guardrail south of albany oregonon I5. Then there was a five car pile up on a straight section of 5 lane road leading into corvallis or. :violent1: :violent1: :violent1: :violent1:

I did see one car with an inch of slush thursday in eugene.

Well, we found out this afternoon what makes a GUE instructor quake in his boots . . . Dives for the Rec Triox class for tomorrow have been cancelled because of snow!

I drive all over the puget sound area all day. snowfall and accumulation varied from place to place. Nothing worth getting excited over anywhere north of Hoodsport or west of the pass. 2 things though that I'd like to mention.....

#1. If you see a large, relatively heavy truck moving at highway speeds on wet pavement in snowing conditions, perhaps you could consider not changing lanes in front of said vehicle within 10 feet of it's front bumper. Just a thought.

#2. Global warming my :bootyshake: .

Thank you and goodnight.

Man, I haven't had a chance to dive....this whole, save the sea turtle thing has me working my butt off, and I've been helping out at my dad's base-ball place on the weekends. I did get one dive in a few weeks back in Lake Travis, they have some boats at like 40-50'. It was 75 degrees outside, water temp was a bit chilly at 55, hahaha. I keep overturning things looking for nudi's and such...and then I remember I'm in a lake... #-o I'm going to try to get out to an oil platform soon though. Stress and Rescue pool session is monday \:D/

Ok, so I'm late to the snow party, but I somehow picked THIS weekend to build a permanent shed to keep my boat dry. ](*,)

lavindlv and Pez valiantly tried to convince me not to do it, but for some reason I did it anyway. I hate framing in the snow...

Here's what it looked like this morning -

We managed to get the roof dried off enough to actually get it roofed. A little more framing and put up some siding and I'll be done. It snowed on me every day though here in woodinville.
