Well It Happened

We were talking about it. We were hoping it wouldn't this time. We were hoping it could be different, but it went and happened yesterday anyway.

Anchorage got its first actual snowfall. About an inch-and-a-half all told. And the entire town lost its fucking mind.

Oh man, does that happen in Alaska too? Every year I'm like "We live in NORTHERN ALBERTA, guys! Did you think it wouldn't happen this year?

In North Dakota where my brother lives, they got their first blizzard a few weeks ago. I am sure glad I don't live up north. Brrr.

what?

I didn't notice any madness at all...

You may, however, line up to the right to hate me for my smug look - I put the last two sets of snow tires (me and mom) on last weekend, so everyone's all setup for winter.

*smug*

I do not understand these people. How is it every single year they forget how to drive?! I'm only 5 miles from my office and there were at least half a dozen cars off the road between home and work. Crazy.

And that's why I'm going South this Winter. I don't want to be here when the weather turns against all the Seattle-ites.
The people forget how to drive every single time it rains.... RAINS!!! It always rains! And it's supposed to snow this Winter? I'm out, yo! LOL :P

I am one of the Seattle-ites that loves when it snowed. Ballard is so pretty covered in white!
But, I do agree with the poor driving skills that happens when it rains, let alone snow.

I kindof enjoy driving in snow! :)

Is this a commentary on the election results yesterday? ;-)

Brrr!

Even though I am only there a couple days a week, I was one of the few people who managed to vote *and* not call in "I can't make it to the warehouse! It's snowy and traffic is bad!!"

I'll leave that open to interpretation.
