    I like how those people who were up the hill from the bus started running away in panic like the bus was going to spin out uphill at them.
    Or maybe whatever power/phone lines on top of the pole the bus hit were also connected to the pole they were standing next too?

    the storm of, what, 1992? I went in to Kane Hall (you know Yella, the building behind which I got my ass handed to me by a bunch of Husky ruffians who caused my twisted allegiances) to take a logic exam. Intermediate logic in the UW philo dept was a bitch for us non-comp sci / no math guysms btw) Anyhoo, fucking thing was like 3 hours long.

    On my way in to "the U" that morning, the one in Seattle, they were yammering about this snow storm on the radio. By then, I was old enuff to scoff at weathermen and their sill predictions. There was slush on my windshield, and I was like, "typical fucking Seattle. this ain't snow bitch!"

    There was not a flake of snow on the ground when I went in for the exam. It was wet af. I came out 3 hours later, and I shit you not, it's almost up to my fucking knees in Red Square.

    Go to the wife's (then girlfriend's) apt. on lower Queen Anne, thinking I'll hang out for a bit. Wound up being stuck there for days.

    Does anyone remember that one? I-5 was like something out of a dystopian movie. It was covered white and I didn't see asphalt anywhere for close to 10 days. It snowed like a mother fucker and then we had a long ass cold snap. I-5 was littered with abandoned cars from Tacoma to Everett. People just pulling over, getting out and leaving their cars all over the freeway.

    Worst I've seen it around here. Or anywhere.

    You sure this wasn't 90 pre christmas? I entered 6th period at my middle school, nothing, by the end of class there was 4 inches of snow everywhere. By the end of the night there was easily a foot and half. Snow and ice lasted for days. Next day specifically I remember the wind chill was like -7. Went out to play and lasted about 20 minutes. Great sledding that year. Even pulled inner tubes out. All the hills and streets had a solid sheet of ice. Would later snow night before and on christmas a few more inches.
    I remember that year because a kid from my neighborhood ran his sled straight in to the back of a parked car on a pretty decent size hill and killed himself.

    It's Seattle, they are not running away because they are afraid of being hit, rather they are running to avoid helping.

    Gotta get home to Tweet & post how "dumb" somebody is to complete their cycle of projection.

    Where I am it's the first day above freezing in 9 or 10 days. Mostly single digits and near 0 at night. During that time we'v had 3 feet of snow or more.

    Missed a connection in Seattle coming back from the Peach Bowl because 1 inch fell and SEA-TAC was paralyzed. They had already ran out of deicer for the planes. They couldn't clear the gates and we had to sit in the plane for 2 hours out on the tarmac.

    I live at 6500 ft in the Rockies. This is getting comical watching from afar.

    I put my truck in 4wd today for the first time during this storm. I couldn't get up the driveway with all the slush.

    Our power stayed on the whole time which is all I give a shit about. Didn't run out of food, liquor or weed. Complete weather preparedness.

    More a guns compound or a religion compound?

    The Throbber tries keep a good balance.
