Snow! Possibly!

I'm going to go ahead and get the linkspam out now--I'll post about Cloverfield when I get back from the movie tonight. I really don't think we'll have power or connectivity issues until tomorrow, if at all, but I find that preparing for things tends to prevent them, in a superstitious way

Yeah, we're warm enough in Seattle to not really Get It when it snows, which is why I stay the hell home (having totalled one car in snow) when we get ANY snow. I know there are enough newcomers to the area who bitch and moan about people going ten miles an hour on the freeway because there's a quarter inch of slush, but dude, if that's what you want, go home. I don't have a good record of driving in significant snow, and neither does anyone else. In the snowstorm in January (I think it was) last year, there were points when freeway traffic was moving one mile an hour, and that wasn't a bad storm by anyone else's standards. Invariably, someone takes twenty four hours to get home because traffic is so bad. And we're also hilly, with actual foothills not too far away, though fortunately out of most peoples' range of travel.

Good luck to you - I hope your storm doesn't happen and that you're not super inconvenienced if it does!

The Smart Bitches and their readers match Nora Roberts' $5000 pledge to help the black-footed ferrets.
Awww!! I love when that happens. Oh, the power of the Internet and all its money.

'Star Trek' Teaser Trailer, in Glorious Cell Phone-Quality.
Oh yeah!! I forgot we get that. I'll wait to watch it in glorious big-screen quality

Yeah, snow here really freaks people out (here being the DFW/Dallas, TX area). We're moderately more equipped for ice just because things get icy here at least twice a winter, but we're not used to snow. Sleet, yes. But snow makes the city stop dead and we all rush outside and stare in wonder.

Yeah, they're calling for ice and sleet possibilities for the next few days - I imagine people are out stocking up. I know I sure as hell don't go out when it's icy unless it's an emergency - too many idiots on the roads.

Hee, I feel your pain. The only time I remember it snowing here in South Georgia was the Winter Storm of '93. We still speak of it in hushed tones.

"It hasn't been this cold since '93!"
"Oh, you're right. It was....That Storm. I remember it well."

We called it "The Blizzard" in North Ga. we got over two feet of snow and had no power or water for over a week!

Well, fire is more likely in your part of the woods than snow, isn't it? ;)
