Seattle has come to a standstill - snow everywhere with ice underneath. In a hilly city like this one, that spells trouble. Folks leaving work last night to go home found themselves still on the road at midnight. Today, abandoned cars are littered throughout the metro area as people gave up and walked the rest of the way home! Most of the city is shut down, most state and federal agencies are shuttered, and everyone is staying put. The kids in our neighborhood are taking advantage of the empty streets and sledding down the snowed-over pavement. Others are choosing to use x-country skis to get from here to there rather than the typical cars and bikes.
Tonight's low is 12 degrees. Wiesty, cold even under all that furry fur, has grown quite fond of my down jacket over the past two days...
AJ taking care of the sidewalk - what a model citizen!
