Snow in Seattle

For the second time this winter already, and it's only January, a winter snowfall has created havoc in the Emerald City. Not that snow is unheard-of in-city, it's just typically a once-per-winter affair, and when snow does fall it also typically melts the next day. But this year has been exceptional for wild weather - floods in our wettest November on record were widespread and swept houses away, a snowstorm in December where an artic air mass kept us white for days, a windstorm that knocked out power to a million regional electricity customers (some went without power for more than a week, we lost power for 108 hours). And now this. With another Artic airmass thats kept the snow around for days. Not that I am complaining, far from it. I grew up on the East Coast and miss real winters, where it's at least cold much of the time even if every year doesn't result in a white Christmas. No, I love the snow, its just the moronic, unprepared drivers I could do without.
