It is snowing here.Part of the appeal of the Seattle metro area is our temperate climate. It doesn't get overly cold or hot here very often and dare I say we like it that way? People not born here (myself included) always cackle and laugh at the spectacle we make of ourselves in this town when it snows or there is ice.
People panic, it is not unusual at all for people to refuse to leave their homes at all during a "snow storm" (meaning snow fall of more than an inch). Schools close at the slightest provocation. People stay home from work. It's pathetic and funny and a little frightening to see how the whole town shuts down.
Part of it is our topography. This is a hilly region with a lot of water, ice can be difficult to manage especially for the very inexperienced drivers that live here. The rest is just the fact that no one in this fucking city has ever grown up when it comes to snow. They pray for it, wish for it, in a way that is just fucking stupid. And they PANIC when it falls. They would just rather die than drive in it. Or they pretend it isn't there and drive like madpeople which turns out just as well as you might expect.
This is how they had to close the freeway tonight.
For an INCH OF SNOW.
The animals and I are not pleased. Darla has sworn to me that she shall not need to pee at least until this shit melts and possibly until spring. Do not bother asking in otherwords.
Rooster.
Is not pleased.
Did you make it snow? Because she will CUT YOU bitch.

Sounds very much like what happens here in Virginia. I suppose we can lie to ourselves and say this is the south afterall. And forget about being able to find any milk, bread or toilet paper at the mere mention of snow. Have a great weekend.
Oh. Rooster looks PIIISSSED
