There was more snow falling in WA today .... caused a lot of issues with traffic... there were crashes, pile ups, roads closed because the conditions were horrible, majorly icey roads, and morons that don't know how to drive in it.
This isn't WI .... the whole area shuts down for an inch or two... why? Well, they aren't use to snow here... icey roads cause major problems w/ all the water and hills here... and they don't salt/sand/clear roads here like in WI.
My Mom lost power at her place tonight... Dennis said that there was a transformer that blew in Silverdale, looked like an atomic bomb went off... 66,000 Puget Sound Energy costumers lost their electricity ... my Mom, Step-Dad & Ash being one of the places. Eeks... Luckily we still have ours. Schools have already been canceled for tomorrow too...
Here is the progression of snow here during the day ......

And by 6pm this is what the roads looked like........ COMPLETE ice!!
Here from ICLW - Beautiful pictures. It's hard to imagine closing school or having traffic problems with that, but as you said, it's not as much a problem of people being wimps as it is lacking the proper equipment for it.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with NaBloPoMo! I'm impressed you're doing that AND ICLW at the same time!
