Record-Breaking Beauty

Record lows in Seattle this week.

But it did snow, so at least there's that . . .
snow flakes on Broadway in Capitol Hill, Seattle
Can you see those flakes? This photo was taken just as it started to come down, before things got too easy to photograph.


Here's from a little later:
Really coming down


Much better pictures over on the CHS snow picture post. A couple of favorites:

    Wow! Snow in Seattle? They must have shut everything down! Do they still close schools for one snowflake?

    Well, it was a pretty light dusting, and it fell on Sat., so I think they just did late starts at all the schools. :)

    For a report on the public transit situation, try this recent update from a certain EmilyHD.

    I read this: "from a certain EmilyHD" and was confused by the "HD" - thought for a moment it stood for "Hot Date" but then I figured it out. :o) I'm so smart.

    We had late buses here, too, I think. At least there was an article on helenair.com... But it's been minus double digits since Saturday. Sledding? I think not.

    School buses...no public transportation buses (no REAL public transportation) yet...

    School buses: that makes so much more sense! :)

    It's good to have some perspective on the weather--the record low here was 19, which is definitely cold, but nowhere near the kind of cold y'all see in MT or IL.

    If only I'd kept my winter coat!


    Not "Emily Hi-Def"?

    In my auto world, HD usually means "heavy duty" so let's be thankful for the creativeness of "hot date" :o)

    another thought - you know how much i enjoy the word verification...we should play a game on your blog. Everyone who posts a comment should have to define the word verification word and use it in a sentence. Doesn't that sound fun? Or is it just me? :o)

    HD stuff makes sense: I watch TV, you go places. :)

    Are they actual words? Seems like whenever I run into those it's just gibberish. Or is that the point? Like a balder-dash-y kind of thing?

    They're not actually words - but they have well-placed vowels & consonants, so you could actually read them as words. Here's the one this time: convomis
