Seattle is facing a snowpocalypse. This is my front yard right now:

You can’t really tell but those bushes are half-buried. I await Jim Hansen’s apology.

    Acts of heroism abound ...sniffWhile the storm kept many King County residents at home, staying in wasn't an option for baristas Kerry Rowe and Rachael Delre. Seattleites, they said, need the service they provide 365 days a year.
    The two were staffing Gourmet Latte, a drive-through espresso stand on Holman Road Northwest in Crown Hill. They didn't feel they could leave their loyal customers to decaffeinate, and they weren't surprised that business was good.

    cripplingSeattle is crippled by 9 inches of snow?
    Least it'll be festive for the holidays.
    We got about 2 feet this weekend in many parts of the Northeast. My arms are falling off from shoveling.

    Skiing, snowboardingWe saw it on the news, your fellow citizens skiing and snowboarding down city streets.  Pretty cool.
    That used to happen here, before the decade long drought.  Lakes are down over 2 feet.

    Methinks you doth protest too muchBetter snow than "water and ash":
    UTILITIES: Homes flood after TVA dike bursts (12/22/2008)
    A retention pond wall collapsed early this morning at a Tennessee coal plant, flooding as many as 10 nearby homes with a mixture of water and ash.
    The Tennessee Valley Authority, the nation's largest utility, uses the pond to contain ash generated at an adjacent coal-fired power plant in Harriman, Tenn.
    U.S. EPA has been notified of the spill, said TVA spokesman Gil Francis. Heavy rains and freezing temperatures may be to blame for the flood, but investigators have not yet pinpointed the cause, he said.
    No one was seriously hurt or required hospitalization, a local official said. TVA supplies electricity to 8.8 million consumers in Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Kentucky, Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia (Duncan Mansfield, Associated Press, Dec. 22). -- PR

    SnowpocalypseFor some reason a bit of trivia occurs to me. Irving Berlin wrote "White Christmas" while sitting around a swimming pool in Hollywood. As a California boy living in Olympia, this is my own version:
    I'm dreaming of a Green Christmas, like the ones I used to know
    Getting a Christmas tan,
    Cerveza in hand,
    and never needing to shovel snow

    Sure ErikJust fire up your sauna.  Might have to wear shoes for driveway shoveling, hehey.
    I don't wear shoes to go in the icehole, everyone else does.  Have you considered a rechargeable snowblower?  Do they have those yet?

    On the Other HandManila used to have an average of around 18C at this time but it's more like 26C to 28C, which is almost like summer.
