Record Snows Continue in Seattle

So my driveway is shoveled just in time for the next snowfall. Here are the pictures of the record accumulations:

DSCF1140 We’ve not experienced this much snow here in Seattle in our 20+ years of living here. Coming from Minnesota, Suzy and I are used to this, but not in recent history. No one else here shovels their driveways. Indeed, by this Friday we expect the snow to be nothing but a memory.

My parents and daughter’s families have been house bound. Suzy drives to work each night and we have gone out everyday except today for lunch. After I drove Suzy to work one night she decided that she was fine driving. She did not appreciate being stuck behind the snow plows going around 10 mph’s all the way home this morning though.

We are told to expect snow again tomorrow night and the night after that. Then the rains are supposed to come and wash all the snow away. We’ll see. But these snow are nothing compared to the snows we had in Minnesota growing up. I remember the time in the late 70’s when a snow drift was higher than my two story house…
