Round 2...


...was a little more impressive than Round 1. On Wednesday everyone was so worried about the snow but it never came. Then we woke up to this Thursday morning. The freeway I take to work had completely been shut down because of an accident. Brandon was so nice to drive me to the hospital on the side roads. And that excerpt from the metro article was completely accurate. We saw BMWs and other fancy cars abandoned on the road. And the most annoying part was when people hit each other they didn't take their cars to the side of the road they just left them there, got out to stand in the middle of the road, and stared at them. The funniest part of the drive into work was that we saw probably the only two snow plows Bellevue owns just sitting in a parking lot doing nothing.
Today the sun is out and it is beautiful. It will be a white Christmas after all!

Karen, that's hilarious! It sounds kinda like how the people in Cincinnati react to snow storms! The snow that (rarely) falls here is not nearly as deep as it is in Utah, and people are a lot more freaked out by it. But I have to hand it to Ohio for having some pretty amazing ice storms!

I hope you are able to start a "driving in the snow" school for the people in Seattle. Maybe however, just best to be cautious in your driving. Good luck.
