Mike and I experienced our first Seattle snow storm this week; on Monday it snowed 2 inches. For Seattle, which is all hills, the snow was rather devastating for its non-snow raised residents. In the picture we are standing at the base of Queen Anne Hill (by our apartment), and Queen Anne Drive was one of the many roads that we closed due to slippery conditions.
What we experienced: 1) Seattle snow drivers are extremely polite. 2) I GET SNOW DAYS! I felt like a little kid all over again, and spent to whole day outside. 3) 2 inches of snow isn't a lot however with almost no plows or salting trucks everything, except main roads, still 2 days later still are covered in compacted snow turned to ice. We live on main roads, and can walk to everywhere important in our lives without much hassle.
We are enjoying a festive Thanksgiving week, and thoroughly enjoying the snow while it lasts. We will probably be back to the mid-40s again by the end of the week and back to our rain. But, it will be fun while it lasts.
