UPDATE 22 December: This is getting out of hand. "Snow Day" is turning into "Snow Week" and I'm not too happy about it. It just keeps dumping on us - we even made the New York Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/22/us/22snow.html Missing work is one thing, but I had to cancel my first sno-park trip today because the roads are so bad. Nothing to do but ski up to the neighborhood park again. At least I ran into this nice fellow out for a few turns himself and we had a nice chat.

Wow, first tracks of the season and they're practically right out my front door!

We don't get a lot of snow here in the Puget Sound lowlands, so when it does hit it it's big news. Traffic is paralyzed, work comes to a standstill, schools all close and grownups everywhere start whining and complaining.
My friend and former northwesterner Ray, who moved out to the midwest many years ago, sent me an email this morning offering the loan of a snow shovel. (They're only expecting 8~10 inches tonight - I guess that's not much where he lives - and he heard we might get an another inch. He's seen enough Seattle drivers to feel sorry for us out here.) As if I would do the responsible thing and shovel the sidewalk -- not even close!
