well the predicted snow storm hit us pretty hard. we had 6 or 7 inches here. thankfully my work closed the offices yesterday and today. it looks worse out there today, there seems to be a thick coat of ice on top of the snow now, so i would not have driven even if the office was open! carl had to work doing his delivery stuff tuesday and wednesday. tuesday he was in bellevue and issaquah-lots of hills and rural roads but he said it actually wasn't too bad. yesterday he had his tacoma route, again lots of hills and snow filled parking lots. he got stuck a few times and slid around a bit-took him 4 tries to get into our drive way once he got home! thankfully he is off today. he has to work tomorrow, really hope this stuff is mostly melted by then...he has studded tires on his delivery truck and i went to les schwab as soon as i got off work monday night and had some put on my van.
my daughter and her husband live in lynnwood and they got hit pretty hard too-she sent me a picture from her phone yesterday-her car is completely buried!! she said they have been hearing branches snapping off the trees in her backyard. they have a huge stand of bamboo that is overloaded with snow that is laying on top of their second floor deck! she tried to go to work tuesday and slid off the road about 2 blocks from her house. fortunately mikey was at home and was able to walk down to where she was and drive her back to their house.
the lights keep flickering here...hope the power doesnt go out :(
