My boss's mom's pipes froze last night. I haven't been to my home since yesterday afternoon - so I hope my house is ok. *fingers crossed* I've officially had enough of this cold weather now. And sadly, it's going to get extra cold tonight. Stresses me out.

Oops...wasn't a reply to you. I hope all is well for you.

Yeah - got home to a warm house - no frozen pipes.

Found out a friend of mine left work yesterday at 3pm to drive home. Her commute is usually around 30 minutes max. She got home at 4am!

Yikes! I think from now on i'll just STFU. Some of you yanks have it far worse thus far.

We live in West Seattle - the only way to get to this area is over bridges and they had all turned to sheets of ice and eventually got closed down after they had become parking lots. There are some back routes you can go - which everyone was trying to do. It was taking a couple hours to go a few blocks. Many people gave up and just parked their cars and walked home after 5+ hours of getting nowhere.

Most people don't realize that Seattle is a city of hills - steep, steep hills. Compared to much of the country - we don't get that much snow/ice - but with all of our hills it's just super dangerous getting anywhere. A few inches of snow and some ice and our city is crippled.

Wow. I still love snow...but I am on board with it needed to stay clear of Seattle.

we've only got about 6" here, but it's been really cold. almost -40 last night.

i think it's like Vancouver, when it snows there the whole city comes to a stop.

Ouch! Now that's cold. I don't miss that at all. I remember waking up in Idaho to go to school and thinking it was going to be a warm day if it was above 0. We are supposed to get in the teens tonight - coldest it's been here for 25 years they are saying.

We didn't get as much as we were expecting here last night. Only about 2 inches instead of the 4-6 that were forecast. But it still looks beautiful. I posted these in the photography thread earlier:

Nice pics! My Grandmother is in Buhl and they got around 8 inches over the last couple days.

Here's a vid of wonderful Seattle traffic.
