I feel like the weather hasn't made up its mind on weather this is gonna be rain or snow. Full-on snow right now in Roosevelt/Ravenna but it doesn't look like it's sticking.
This is blowing my mind in terms of the micro effects like when DistantMantra was getting light wet not sticking and we, a mile away had two inches of powder. It's very thick and sticking - right now - my car has an inch of fresh powder from totally clean an hour or so ago.
Alexa says it is up to 38 degrees but I'm not sure what the afternoon holds. About ten of my colleagues are headed to Vegas today and looks like most of them made it which is good. Hopefully the same for my flight tomorrow. But if I had to guess looking outside I'd think I was crazy!
I got into and out of Redmond this morning at 65mph both directions - just icy snow on the non arterials but Redmond itself seemed partially crippled.
And while I remember: RANT - yes people should drive slower and keep an eye on conditions but cruising in the middle lane of the 520 with clear conditions and no ice at literally 25mph is NOT SAFE.
Guy driving a black Celica almost caused a pile up at about 9am on the approach to the 405. That sort of driver terrifies me. Prevailing speed was about 60mph and thank God traffic was minimal.
I know two people like that in real life and neither of them should ever have passed a driving test. Both of them avoid the freeway at all costs if they can help it. Both of them are otherwise good people but the skill required to get a driver's license in the US would be laughable if it wasn't so dangerous. They're both terrified of driving - both have atrocious instincts and sense of direction /awareness and both drive almost every day.
I won't let my daughter in their cars. Ever.
