Snowpocalypse III: The Dumping
Sun, Dec. 21st, 2008 05:54 amSnow has descended upon Seattle once again. Despite ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
grubbstreet's good-naturedly cranky assertion that we have gotten snow like this before, I must admit that this really does feel to me like a unique and remarkable phenomenon. I don't remember the snow piling up so high on my balcony railing before, or the city shutting down quite so completely. I could be wrong, of course. This happens rarely enough that it feels extreme to me.
And why am I posting at 6 AM? Because somewhere around 5 AM I woke up and have been unable to fall back asleep. What I've found as I've trolled the internets is thatoldmangrumpus was trapped at Seatac Airport most of yesterday and never got off the ground, poor guy, and that snow has provoked cheap theater in Seattle. If only there wasn't a ginormous hill between me and Seattle Center, I'd go see Black Nativity. If the buses are running, maybe I'll venture forth and give it a try. I admit, however, that despite some pretty severe cabin fever, tempting the cold isn't an attractive prospect.
The wind that was promised along with the precip never hit my end of Queen Anne. It's still and quiet outside, and I still have power despite predictions to the contrary. Don't know what today's weather holds, though I'll say this much: It sure doesn't feel like the sun has returned.
ETA: 6:24 AM: The wind is picking up. I can hear the gusts through my windchimes and windows. This should be interesting. Also, the Seattle PI has posted a great slide show of snow pix.
