snowy fear

Today's headline at the Seattle Times read:

Seattle Paralyzed by Chance of Snow

Mom and Dad (and Gabe), now is the time where you laugh and laugh and laugh. Because really, honestly, everyone here was sitting around unable to commit to anything because it Might Snow. It was a town full of people looking up and talking about nothing but the option of precipitation.


Then around 5pm it really did start to snow, and suddenly I was glad I was driving Charlie home in the yeti with snow tires. The bottom of our neighborhood is a graveyard of cars that couldn't make it up the several hills and speed bumps. We growled our way up without a slip and are all warm and cozy.
