It snowed. And then the snow went away. Not fair! *pleads with snow* Come back!

In winter I expect the world to look like this:

Every year here I wait for the Big Snow and just about every year I'm disappointed.

Want to help? Please send your extra or unwanted snow to:

Seattle Residents
The Great Northwest
Seattle, Washington, 98199

Please box and wrap snow carefully, and include sufficient postage. Thank you!

It was way pretty this morning in Lynnwood. Actually, it was even still flurrying up until I left around 10:30.

Kinda wished it would have done this during the week, though, and I could have used it as an excuse not to go to work. *g*

That's why it needs to keep snowing! More! So that we don't have to go in tomorrow. Let's both go outside right now and do a snow dance, shall we? I assume you have the traditional pom-pom hat, "snow stick" and sacrificial rabbits? Oh of course you do--let's go!

I'm shocked you don't have snow in Seattle. I'm in Vancouver and we got about a foot the other day- and it's still here. *grumbles*

Normally, if we get snow you guys get snow too. But I'm willing to share... ::sends our left-over 6 inches your way::

Fine, you can have allllll the snow you want, as long as it stays north of the King County line.

I got really disenchanted with snow in Seattle in January of 1979, when it not nly snowed but then got down to 6^oF and stayed there for a week. I wished, living on the side of Beacon Hill as I did, for crampons and an ice axe.

How about plain old cold weather? Cause it's -36 C ... which falls into the range of ridiculous weather, IMHO! *weedles* I'd be quite happy to share!

But I just flew into Seattle hoping to get away from the snow. *pouts*

I wanted snow too. I even stocked up on toilet paper.
Living beside the Sound makes me less likely to get snow than any other place in Seattle so the remnants I saw upon waking thrilled me.
As long as I can get yo the airport thursday you can have all the snow you want.
