I haven't gone anywhere, but from my apartment I can watch people slide through the red stoplight at the bottom of the hill. Quite entertaining!

When I lived on the South Hill, I always avoided the Lincoln street hill and never even considered Gong down Freya from the south side. Holy sweet lord that would suck.

Walnut and Ash for me.

I too hate this fucking snow. My g/f called last night from work, said the stuff they put on the roads to make em not slick, the wet stuff, leaves stripes on the road, well, apparently, it was freezing, caused a ton of accidents. I wish I could move to a place with a warmer climate for the winter. But, here I am, in lovely eastern Washington... altho, the snow does make for some fun parking lot drifting

It didn't look bad, and I'm sure whatever is wrong with it wouldn't take a ton of money to fix.

We've got like an inch of snow, but then the skies cleared up and the temperature dropped to 20 degrees with wind, so it's all crunchy and icy.

I've got studs on my winter car right now, so I don't know if it's such a good idea to be enjoying parking lots like Paganizondadude, haha. But I know how fun it can be.

D0000000000d, that's nothing. Last year, in one night we got close to 3 feet of constant snowing, such that they had to close down Egan Highway, and school and work for the entire city for the day.

Crazy as nuts.

Speaking of snow. I need a new shovel.

This is last winter, this time:

i have always hated the snow and ice. some how i got stuck up here in the northwest.

but last night a few of us made the snow and ice tolerable for a few hours.

ill leave it short and sweet.

3 subies + snow + skagit county + austin and myself + state patrol and/or burlington police = one amazing night. i wish i could have gotten some pictures or video from everything.

i dont mind, watching all those people in muscle cars and big trucks and suvs driving like assholes and hitting stuff. most of them think cause they have awd tanks that they can stop and turn better. but my neon does good. studded i-pikes on my light little car handles great. plus i have an $200 orbital battery so all i have to do is tap the starter and it turns over
