So Bellingham's forecast for six inches of snow. Not bad, somewhere in the ankle range, and we have plows.
We discovered that last year for American Thanksgiving. It was remarkably low-key on the freaking out level, which was nice. I was glad we left Seattle before they started dismantling the viaduct and made one of the bridges across the lake a toll bridge, 'cause oy.
I just checked out a weather forecast. Seattle, unlike Bellingham, is in for possibly-historic winter storm weather and is forecast for up to eighteen inches of snow. Just under half a meter, for our metric friends. That's deeper than my kneehigh boots.
Seattle freaks out at a couple of inches of snow (last time they had significant snow, they voted a mayor out of office for not responding as much as people wanted; this time there are whole newspaper articles talking about how prepared they are for this one), as a note.
I'm glad I don't need to welcome our new snowpocalypse overlords. O.o;;;
