We're missing the party down here. Not a flake in sight. We had a bit last night(maybe 1"), but it was all melted off by noon.

There is about 4" on the ground here. Went down the hill to go to dinner tonight in my friend's front wheel drive van and saw where a car missed the turn half way down the hill and skidded into the guard rail. Dumba$$es. Why can't people learn that they can't ride the brakes down going down a slick hill? I have got to get me a video camera before the end of winter just so I can post stupid people videos.

Nice Poik. You & Tyler should do some drifting today!

I just drove in to work. You guys should know that what is hitting the north end now is nasty. I HAD to put the Avi into 4x. And some of the side streets in Everett are closed w/cop cars blocking the streets. And if what hit Marysville when I was leaving hits the metro area, the city will come to a grinding halt. It went from no problem driving to a white-out & slicker-n-snot in 5 minutes.

My area looks like Eric/Poik's picture.....6+ inches of snow on the ground and under that is ICE!!!!!! Not taking my car anywhere today........and that Tahoe is looking more and more like a good choice to buy instead of a GTO.

Not going in today. Tried to move the Metro down and back up again. That's a no go.

I'm more worried about having to come back to this later tonight when it's COLDER.

Just measured and it is just over 12" in my backyard, but not snowing at all. Which way is the wind blowing down there in Vernon?
