Speaking of ferries, taking the Edmonds ferry to Kingston gets you a very good lights display at their port in the evening. They have great crepes and coffee right there too.
First White Christmas in almost 10 years! It's about a 1/4" here near Martha Lake so far. I had to drive home about an hour and a half ago from my moms in the hills between Snohomish and Monroe so that was a bit dicey in spots due to ice but made it safely.

Drove to Kent for Christmas eve at the in-laws and couldn't even get our stupid Zipcar up the slushy driveway slope. Made me miss NY winters when I could at least be prepared.
I'm in Nebraska for Christmas with my in-laws. We have snow here but it's always so pretty in Seattle, especially when we don't have to go anywhere.
I'm in Capitol Hill and my parking garbage lets out onto one of the nastiest hills in the area. Just a little snow is enough to strand me here.
Was going to go to a Christmas party at my friends tonight but the snow changed my plans. Left the city early so I could get to my moms in Snoho. I5 was a breeze but all the side streets were getting dicey. We've been getting spoiled not having to deal with this snow stuff every year.
There's three issues:
1. Lots of hills.
2. Because it doesn't snow that often most cities and whatnot don't have snow clearing equipment for the roads. Where I'm at the roads will basically have snow on them until it starts raining on Wednesday.
3. Because it doesn't snow that much most of us just have all-season tires on our cars.

I'm braving the snow in my car this afternoon, but I only have to go like 20 miles. I spend Christmas with some friends who are dealing with a family tragedy right now, so I absolutely cannot bail.
Be safe, buddy! Luckily most folks I've seen are driving with extra care rn.
Merry Christmas, Seattle! <3

Seventh white Christmas in 127 years. The snow caught everyone off guard, no sanding trucks out last night that we saw
At least some of it is melting. I was able to drive down the hill into town to grab a few things I needed at the one grocery store that is open in the area (Albertsons).
Showed up to work yesterday after the 3-day weekend, a bunch of sick people also came to work. Now tonight my throat hurts like hell. THE BUG IS REAL!!! Be safe Seattle-ERA
This is a real thing. My place of work is a ghost town rn. So many sick people.

I am so glad my office is closed this week because so many people were sick last week. I feel like I dodged a bullet.
That rail would be pretty revolutionary. I wish there was state tax to collect for that rather than raising sales tax, which I assume would be the solution.
Just got home from a snowy week in Omaha with sub zero temps. This 40 degree weather is downright balmy.
Does anyone do the RainWise program and have a contractor they'd recommend? Our house is eligible for it and we're toying with the idea.
Awesome, I'd appreciate it. I've been going through the city's website and it seems a bit of a crapshoot picking a couple to come out and look at our place.
I found it! We had http://www.seattleclearwatergardens.com/ with David Roman do our work. It's been very solid and maintenance free in the short time we've had it. To be totally clear though, the previous homeowner booked them (and probably knows them, they were in construction as well) and ClearWater finished the work while we were closing on the house. Good luck!
Is that still an option this season? The thought crossed my mind.
This is literally the weather from The Road. It's cannibal wasteland weather. FML
Yeah it's pretty shitty. Nothing has topped 2005 yet as far as I recall though.

I go to Sweden for a week and all hell breaks loose. So I should stay here then?
A little late on this, but here's who we used: http://vireods.com/ My wife was the one who mostly interacted with them while she was on maternity leave and what not, but she said they were great to work with and we're both happy with the results.
