olyclimber Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 wow, it is dumping here in bothell and there is already a good 4 inches in the parking lot. more on the way! Quote
sk Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 we got 4 inches yesterday and more overnight. 1-4 more expected today. I just hopes it melts enough for me to get my kids and get to my house. no work for me today. Quote
AlpineK Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 I'm hoping it dumps feet at my place. Then there will be a nice ski run down to Lake Washington. Some homeowners might be pissed, but screw em. Quote
Sherri Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 We only got about 1 1/2 inches. Damn bananabelt. Quote

rmncwrtr Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 I was thinking of you, Muffy, as we made the drive through Oregon yesterday and passed Eugene. We'd spent Saturday night in Ashland and as we drove north the snow was really coming down. The roads were horrible. Accidents all around us. Â The kids have a snow day. They are so happy. A week in Disneyland and now no school again today. Quote

KaskadskyjKozak Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Â TO ALL THE IDIOTS IN THEIR AWD AND 4WD VEHICLES - YOUR CAR WILL NOT GET TRACTION IN ICE. PUT CHAINS ON. MMKTHXBYE! Quote
JayB Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Should provide quite the slide/collision highlight reel on the news this evening. Will Seattlites armed with camcorders document anything that tops the Portland footage from a couple of years ago? That's the real question.... Â Â zMzeiMJQrvk Quote
Sherri Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 TO ALL THE IDIOTS IN THEIR AWD AND 4WD VEHICLES - YOUR CAR WILL NOT GET TRACTION IN ICE. PUT CHAINS ON. MMKTHXBYE! Â Werd. I'm wearing my Yaktrax today. Quote

Â OR JUST SLOW THE FUCK DOWN. Â 13 vehicles in the ditch on I-90 saturday. EVERYONE OF THEM WAS A PICKUP OR SUV INCLUDING MULTIPLE TACOMAS Â At the bottom of the hill from my house was a car with chains who slid out of control at 8 am this morning went over the curb and broke and axle. Â I saw a couple of cars in ditches and about 10 clueless dumbasses spinning tires at maximum RPM on the ice. Â I drove slowly with chains to a park and ride and bussed in to Seattle. It's snowing now. Â Quote
No. 13 Baby Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Your bike doesn't work in the snow? Quote
AlpineK Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 All I have to say is I have a 4WD Pickup. That gets you better acceleration while driving, but all vehicles 2WD/4WD have 4 wheel breaking. A big rig gets you a little, but you still need to keep your speed down. Â I think a lot of 4WD AWD owners have this vision in their head that they can do whatever they want to. Quote
billcoe Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 I think a lot of 4WD AWD owners have this vision in their head that they can do whatever they want to. Â thats exactly what i wuz thinking as i drove around all those bitchs clogging up the road this am. Including a 4 runner too scared to move at the top of a hill blocking everyone as the road up only had folks spinning out. Â Â Pussies. Quote

lI1|1! Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 i rode my bike as usual because i figured the busses would be a mess. i was the first person to show up at work. Quote
cheamclimber Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 Its snowing and blowing snow in Agassiz... yay, no shool for me today! Quote
AlpineK Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 There's still a little outside, but this 500' freezing level sucks. I wish the banana belt would move south. Quote
Al_Pine Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 (edited) Kids had no school yesterday. Went to Crystal. No troubles getting out of town. Foot or more of super-light dry powder (over something very hard). No lift line of course. Â Sounds like I missed some excitement in SeaTown though. Â Â oh yeah, edited to add mini-review of new Northway chair. Didn't give it much of a chance (just one run) but it sorta sucked. Some busybody old lady warned us away from what might've been a cool run (Paradise) and we did Spook Hill which was OK but then once you were on the Northway run it was totally sucky. Everywhere else on the damn mountain had foot-deep powder but on Northway it was relatively flat (read not steep at all) but totally carved into a ton of sharp moguls. Why are there so many annoying moguls on such a flat run? STupids. I guess those sharp bumps give you something to do, but that's putting a silver lining on it for sure. And no powder. Must be too damn popular. Maybe wait for the hype to die down. Probably other good stuff around to explore, but when there was amazing shit available everywhere else we decided to go with what we knew was gud, instead of instead of exploring and maybe getting lucky and always at some point eventually getting on that sucky Northway run again. And they don't have the bus running anymore, or at least not yesterday anyway. Â Edited January 29, 2008 by Al_Pine Quote
Hendershot Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 Well, paint me yellow and call me blue. I didn't believe it until I saw it. Snow in April. Quote
