Holy crap...so we're pretty much doing this all over again with maybe another day of snow even after Tuesday it sounds like...Damn cliff mass forrcast anothet 8 inch of snow on tuesday. Gg
Yeah, not too far off. Kent highlands/Covington.Where you located? Looks like the east side/Renton highlands are getting it good right 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.'

Keep in mind this is accumulated SNOWFALL. Accumulation is different and usually less than total snowfall (snow can melt, be compressed, or the snow can be more dense if wet).
I am not going to suggest running out to the supermarkets, considering the bedlam that occurred before the current event. The U-Village QFC was stripped. Some folks bought enough food for a month! But I was really impressed how much they restocked by the next day. Eat the stuff buried in your freezer.
My best friend lives in Tacoma so his daughter is never getting out this summer.
From the same blog post:
Obviously those numbers are still high for totals but can we please not lose our collective minds again please people. This reminds me of the supposedly "once in a lifetime" event weather folks were propping up that wind storm from a few years back in the Seattle area that fizzled into absolutely nothing. It was almost the same scenario too in terms of a day prior in the week having more intensity in wind than the actual day they predicted to be "THE BIG ONE". Cue this week and at least where I'm at the snowfall we got earlier in the week had about twice as much snowfall and wasn't projected at all afaik. What I'm saying is big milk and big bread want your money BAD, it's collusion with NOAA people trust no one! But in all seriousness weather folks really do like to hype up some events as the biggest thing ever, I mean just a few days ago they were saying what we got yesterday and today could eclipse the 2008 totals. What were the totals for Seattle again today? Like two inches? Most major thoroughfares are clear ffs. Don't get me wrong I'm glad the forecast was wrong cause I don't want to deal with being landlocked again, nonetheless I'm weary of the cycle of weather disaster porn people like to get fixated on and create faux hysteria in the process. No need to Mad Max this shit every time the forecast for snow pops up. That said let's hope we all don't die come Tuesday :p
Lol
Yeah, but I think they started earlier. Puyallup was one of the last ones that st
Not everything is centered around Seattle, pierce/Thurston county and SE King county got 10+ Inches of snow, that storm broke some records for accumulation
Seattle got 2-3 inches, it's always going to be hit or miss due to how close Seattle is to the water. Mass did say Seattle area would get around 4 inches and more further east. If we're being honest this storm over performed projections. The 8-12 inches is for new snow. So for Seattle it's total accumulation. Will be 8-10 inches, places like Puyallup with a foot? Likely looking at 20+ inches.
People talk about this great conspiracy to sell bread and milk, Why is it such a bad thing to double up on bread and milk on one trip instead of taking multiple trips?
I'm glad Mass puts in these 'scare' words in there, he wants people to prepare, he wants cities and schools to prepare.
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
Our driveway shares an easement with our neighbors. They're good people. Normally.
My wife and I spent hour today scooping out the driveway and a path from our car to the house and everything melted so it was clear and dry. Now that the sun has gone down, the neighbors girlfriend just came out and dumped all of the snow from their car parked in the driveway all over it so it's covered again. Like didn't even try to keep it contained. And it was immediately ice and it already encased the driveway so my attempts at shoveling again were futile.
Fuck.
Just say no to easement. I have one for my neighbor but no shared driveway so seldom any issues but it irks me knowing it's MY PROPERTY and he's squatting it.
Snow is weird right now. We went out to cap hill for dinner and roads were OK. Not a single flake fell but on the way back everything appeared to have a fresh dusting. Getting hella icy too, predictably. And I saw maybe twenty cars all the way home but ten of them piloted by mouth breathing ingrates.
2-3 more inches tomorrow.
There are three houses on the easement, us and two others. The majority of the easement is between the other houses. Our driveway and property line is clearly separated. They share a sewer line and the owners (both groups who live in the houses rent) are constantly fighting over needing to have their sewer lines replaced. It's like Hatfield's and McCoys at times.
That's in part because the good burgers of Seattle in the early twentieth century thought it would be a great idea to make sewers from delicious porous tree root digestible organic clay or pre-roman concrete.
Friends we are going to be in a winter storm watch for the next four days
I need to print out copies of this and hand it to all of my coworkers when they start "When I went to college in New York..." or "In my native flyover town..."
Typical libtards, when you can argue with something that uses Truth and Logic you immediately resort to personal insults.
This is a towering work of intellect, a perfect construction of logic that just shrug off your silly words.Oh, and to address the flaw in my socialism/snow panic theory, pointed out by Ursula — I haven't begun to figure out why grocery store shelves are also empty in more conservative areas like Duvall and Yelm, but I will figure it out.
Yep! We had our side sewer replaced a few years ago. Wasn't cheap but damn worth it. The guy who did ours scoped the other houses' line and was all "theirs is fucked." When it rains heavy one of the houses has their basement bathtub backup with sewage. It sucks but the landlord refuses to have it fixed.

I mean just look at this stuff -

The weird house across the street, and the secret hidden horror house beneath the ivy that we didn't realize was there until one night a few years ago, the resident turned on the light and it shone through the ivy, apparently doesn't have a working sewer at all. It's full of dirt and roots according to our sewer dude and has been cut off at their property line.
I've marked it out in Gaf porn diagram format. The green is normally moss, about eight inches thich with no sign of underlying roof tile - and the top is a large tarp.
The yellow is the approximate location of a house that is COMPLETELY uundetectable with the naked eye. Below that is my actual reaction the night I happened to be looking there when the light turned on.
Dori: Seattle snowstorm panic shopping a result of socialism
http://mynorthwest.com/1268921/dori-seattle-snowstorm-panic-shopping
It was socialism fault all along!
Was randomly looking at Weather Channel and the storm has a name. Maya?
Sounds like him! He wasn't always this crazy, he seriously lost his mind after 9/11.
Crazy!! I wonder if the murder house has an old grandfathered septic tank or something.
So it looks like the latest models
Has a good news bad news component.
Good news: it's supposed to warm up after the storm, so we aren't looking st another week of snow.
Bad News: 5-10 inches of snow followed by freezing rain and sleet. Queue possible repeat of January 2012
Yeah, I planted some cedars and a hemlock a year ago or so. The hemlock hunched over badly. I tied it to the huge hemlock next to it, but will need to grab a stake once the ground thaws enough to put it in. My neighbors bamboo is super hunched over the fence, but it's bamboo so meh. It will grow back in like 35 minutes, lol.Try and clear your trees and sheds and things before the freezing rain hits. That on top of wet snow is going to fuck a lot of stuff up.
Yep. Gonna be fun going down the hill in High Point laterOur next round of snow has arrived! Hitting West Seattle pretty hard right now.
