How Much Snow Do Ya Got??

How Much Snow Do Ya Got?? - 01/27/02 12:31 AM

Just curious...here in South Everett we've got about 2 inches and its still coming down. laugh Dont you all think its funny that when it snows more then one inch here in Seattle everyone, myself included, likes to make the biggest whoopytodo about it?? laugh

I enjoy it because people in this state, whether it be due to the large influx of Californians or just because Washingtonians can not drive in the snow, CAN NOT DRIVE IN THE SNOW!! I love to sit back and watch people slip and slide and run into each other and anything that is within 100 yds of the road. laugh laugh Plus the local tv channels must place reporters on every street corner within 100 miles of Seattle to see if it snowing there. I like to call it Interview with a Snowflake. wink

Half inch if that. Worried about wife working until 10:30 tonight in Vancouver, though.

About 5" at our place ... after driving around today, it looks like there is probably more to the north / east of us over Fairholm. Might venture up that way in the morning smile

Sparkey,

I only witnessed two accidents on the way to the Sky this morning. One dude went flying in to the ditch and some chick smashed her Jeep in to the curb hard enough to blow out the front wheel and make a cool smacking noise! eek

Growing up in E. Washington and driving on snow/ice for 3 months of the year, people over here scare the crap out of me when it snows or get's icy! Seattlites can't drive in snow!!!!!!<PERIOND>

I'd really rather not be on the road. I'm just worried someone will plow in to me!

...and to think that I am getting up at o'dark-thirty to do a quickie float on the Sky before work tomorrow.

Now to decide whether to take HWY 2 or Seattle Hill Rd. wink Atleast I know I wont be getting a ticket for going 75 in a 55 like I did a few weeks ago. laugh

Half inch on the ground. Thirty-four degrees and no new snow... yet. Roads are really wet tonight and will be nasty in the morning, when the temperature drops below freezing.

1 1/2" here just east of Snohomish... just stopped at 11p still snow clouds up there though!

Re: How Much Snow Do Ya Got?? - 01/27/02 03:18 AM

Update ... we've had 3 1/2" since we got back from the store tonight. That makes roughly 7 1/2" to 8" inches on the ground according to the measuring stick smile YIPEE!!!

Look for snowman pix tomorrow!!

Just the odd flake coming down on the north side of Orcas Island, and nothing's sticking--the roads are wet but not icy. Thank goodness for that, because the high schoolers had a dance until 11:30 tonight...

I sure hope I get to read some good fishing reports from this weekend, because I stuck around the island to chaperone the dance and going two weeks without time on a river is akin to torture...

Re: How Much Snow Do Ya Got?? - 01/27/02 10:40 AM

I have to concur with riverswild, about 3 inches here in Tumwater. Porbably not going fishing today with all the ice on the road. Ilived in Utah for 4 years and learned to drive in htis stuff there, but I don't trust the other people around here! If things warm up I might head out for an afternoon fish?

Wow, Ida thunk you'd have a couple inches by now..we have about 3" here (granted, we're at about 450' in my neighborhood) in Snohomish.

Good think I mounted my studs yesterday! It'll be nice to have them on for the 2 days this lasts. rolleyes

I learned to drive in this stuff in Ellensburg where I did time at CWU. The problem here is that people have one or maybe two days a year to learn to drive in snow that's wet, slick, and often falling on hilly terrain. People spend more time walking to a phone in it than driving in it. laugh

Wife got home fine, most of the snow that fell last night has melted. We *maybe* had an inch of snow at it's deepest.

We always get screwed out of the good snow.

In Marysville. Just a trace last night and nothing in the early morn. It's starting to snow again. I hope it just snows everywhere but at my house. At least the roads are just wet. I don't like walking in the snow with felt bottom wading shoes on. Jim S. laugh

I think you guys got more snow in the last 24 hours than we did. Kind of odd!
As a transplant to Montana from vancouver, I can't believe how calm people are here when the white stuff comes. They just break out the snow blowers and shovels and they do their thing. When I was in Vancouver, if there was an inch on the ground, the news would interrupt TV shows with "breaking news" We have enjoyed the weather over here so far.
Have fun in the snow and drive safe!!!

I am about a half mile from you south, so my report is probably about the same.
But I want to fish in the morning, thinking combat zone.(reiter pit) or cable hole.
