- Thread starter BringBackSonics
- Start date
Our bamboo and Japanese maple were slumped over but i shook the snow off and they're mostly ok. Lost one branch.
I've got a Subaru but I'm not driving this weekend.

Pure disappointment here in SW Portland. At this point the mass hysteria at the stores yesterday was definitely unwarranted.

We got salt, but the kids really want to sled down our drive way and we don't really need to go anywhere.soo
Probably like 3" in downtown Oly. Just cleaned off the car cause fiancée has work but she couldn't make it up that hill that connects the east side to west side across the bridge. She's trying another route now.

Guys.
Major Snow Event predicted for Tuesday
'The snow total forecast for the 24hr ending 4 PM Tuesday is scary, with 8-12 inches of new snow coming into Puget Sound.'

Oh boy I can't wait!
Might be time to invest in a real snow shovel instead of my standard one.
I was shoveling my driveway and my snow shovel broke. I will take this as a lesson to not buy plastic snow shovels in the future. Now I have to either find my other snow shovel or just remain stuck.
I wasn't planning to go anywhere today, but I figured that if I could get most of the snow off the driveway now it would be in better shape for tomorrow, when I might want to go out.

Don't worry the laharr event when Rainier explodes will simply sweep the entire city into the sound.
It just allows him to bring in more resources and move with things in just a general quicker way.
This is pretty normal thing to do and I don't think it's bad in this situation. When the you have a forecast for snowfall that you haven't seen in 30 years, it's better to be safe than to assume how your infrastructure can handle something you never seen it handle.
Lady on skis just passed me walking back home
Also, breads back on the menu
Loses how crazy it looked in the flesh but with almost zero wind it's obvious a Wendigo is trampling around this tree. Which is about 50 feet tall and quite far up the street.
Usually it's taller than the one behind it and at first I assumed people below it were doing something but I think snow weight got it into a kind of frequency /metronome situation with lot of energy. It went on for ten minutes before I got up to do anything about it or film it. I wouldn't want to be in the house below and I knocked on their door but nobody was home.

Yep. Better to over-prepare than to let your constituency down. While I don't think this will be a crisis, we are pretty ill-prepared for this level of snowfall, and having access to the resources we might need is a good thing.
That said, it's gorgeous out there. Kids on my block are making snowpeople and generally having a blast like kids do. It's sort of nice to be snowed in. Everyone being equally humbled by nature makes folks nicer. Every person I interacted with today was very kind.
It's almost like we are better when we are not complacent.
Looking at the 10 day forecast I see 80% chance of snow on Sunday, 90% on Monday, 80% on Tuesday, 40% on Thursday, 40% on Friday, and 30% next Sunday.
If this keeps up my kids will be in school until July.

Pretty good amount of snow in Kenmore, had to dig out the car before I could get anywhere. The main roads are largely fine as long as you take it easy and don't rush things.
Well shit you're right but you don't have to point it out like that

The leaf blower is good to get that 'non compact snow' off your driveway

Were your kids in any of the districts that strikes?

Most of the city is on a rocky hill. Fife and the tide flats will be washed away.
Danger cities will
Include Sumner, Orting and Puyallup
Orting is built on an old Lahar. The weird river valley rocks that look like a fallen temple are near there and formed by gravity averaging out where like sized boulders landed then got pushed and stacked by rivers.

The biggest problem for orting is there is literally only one major way in and out. They are teaching school kids to walk up the hill
Well, I'm already in a 4000 person power outage. Thankfully it's daytime and we had a great waffle breakfast before now. It won't be too long, so no drastic changes for today. I got my whole area shoveled and am weighing cleaning out the street area to my driveway. The family is playing and having a blast.

My best friend lives in Tacoma so his daughter is never getting out this summer.
I don't know. No snow at all makes all the shopping chaos in Portland a bit silly in retrospect, but I'll take feeling silly over what some of our Washington neighbors are going through. Good luck, guys and ladies.
