Weird winter, though, huh? Wild. We were at the hotel for last Friday night's windstorm, and their power went out and stayed out through the night.

The Monday night drive was awful, and I'm one who's driven in mucho snow and ice when I lived for years in the midwest. I had to drive from Kirkland down to our vet's near Northgate, and then back up Lake City Way to home (near NE 145th). People were spinning out all over the place and traffic crawled, and I had two elderly cats in their carriers for an hour...bleah. I was much more comfortable driving through much worse snow and ice in the midwest than I am here.

Anyway. Nutty, wild winter we're having.

Weird is right! We moved here in 97 and I think this winter has been the wildest! So far we have had power outages because of high winds, flooding, ice, snow, and avalanches! I hope we get rewarded with a most excellent spring summer for all of this crappy weather we are getting now.

I personally believe that it's the drivers in this area more than the snow and ice you have to watch out for. I have driven in some pretty snowy locale myself without any trouble (Pennsylvania, Montana, and 3 years in Fairbanks Alaska) but here it's kind of scary. Especially when you see people sliding through stop signs!

So Susan, are you still planning to ride GRT/Interurban on MLK Jr. day? I won't have worked the previous evening (as I previously thought), but I will have to go to work that evening. So, it would still need to be a fairly early start (around nine or so) if the ride's still on in order for me to make it.

It's started to snow again here...

Hey, I completely forgot about that when my daughter asked me to go out with her to lunch

Let me talk with her and get back with you!!!!! Dang nab it!!!!!

[Susan126]

Talked to my daughter . . . she said, "Go mom! You've been miserable not riding your bike!"

So if the weather is good (meaning no rain, ice, snow, or high winds) 9 AM. I will be starting at the Super Mall in Auburn. I usuallypark next to the Regal Cinema. I drive a white maxima (hubby has the truck).

[mimitabby]

any reason why we can't schedule this ride for Sunday when none of us will be working?

How come you get school canceled with 3 inches (at most) of snow, judging from that piccie? my Mom has had to WALK to school.
