![]() I called in to work today because I simply couldn't get out of my parking space. I tried! After the snow that fell last night, the drifts of snow are just too deep! I took some pictures of the winter weather Seattle's been hit with over the course of the last week or so. Thought I'd share some of them. We're use to snow, but not this much in this short amount of time.
![]() The ever green trees my state is nick named for, covered in snow. ![]() My parents' cherry tree. The fence around it would blow down a few days later due to high winds. ![]() One of the buildings in my complex with a blanket of snow about to slide right off the roof. Wouldn't want to be standing under it when it does. A number of buildings had this happening, including the one I live in. ![]() My car before leaving work Sunday night, before I brushed all the snow off. As you can see, it's still falling. ![]() The hill that my apt complex is built on. I slid down it sideways a week ago, and since then refused to park in my reserved parking spot so I wouldn't have to deal with it at all. Those headlights down there belong to a car who was stuck. They eventually backed up back down the hill and parked on the street at the bottom. ![]() The sun actually came out today! It made the snow laden trees look great against the grey sky. ![]() Another tree, heavily weighed down with snow. ![]() And Joey, burrowed in the covers of my bed. He's been sleeping under the covers with me at night. Let's me hold him like a stuffed animal. I love him to death. ![]()

![]() Thank you, Rid!
![]() And although I didn't take this picture, this happened only a few miles from me. Not one, but two buses slid down an icy hill and crashed through the barrier, and were left dangling over I5 just north of Seattle. Just another outcome of this solstice storm. ![]() Thankfully no one was seriously hurt but man oh man, was it scary!

![]() Looks like quite a mess up your way. Not much better on my side of the continent; we took a serious pounding over the weekend.
![]() Great pics! ![]()

![]() Yeah, I know the whole country is being hammered with wintry weather, excluding the severe southwest and severe southeast. I hope this is the worst we get this season, but I know that may just be wishful thinking as the season literally just started. I hope we're not in for too long of a winter.

![]() I would love to see a major blizzard here. Howling winds, 30 inches of snow, zero visibility, you know, "storm of the century" stuff. I would also like it to miraculously not cut my power or internet connection.

![]() Lynnie these are great photos! I have been reading about the weather up there, and Colorado as well (since my parents decided to spend Christmas up there in Pagosa). They have a house here in Sun City, but they wanted to spend the holidays at their other house in Pagosa. My GF and I went to the lights of Prscott (around the courthouse square). I took some pics as well and I will have them up soon!

![]() These photos make me wish for a good snow where I am (except for the one with the accident).
