There was a report of one snowflake falling in Lynnwood, and Steve Pool and Jim Foreman got in a fender bender when they were both trying to get there first...they're rolling around in the dirt on Hwy 99 right now...
"I saw it first!" "Fcuk you, biotch!"
Fish on...

To me, there are two parts... The first part is predicting SNOW vs. RAIN. That seems to me to be really F'n hard--a 2 degree swing and you go from genius to jackass.
Then there's the "precip" vs. "no precip" thing. That's generally pretty well understood (and will be better understood in Sept when the new radar on the coast comes online). The exception being the location of the convergence zone, because it's so susceptible to small changes in wind direction.
We've been at 38 degrees here in Bellevue for the better part of the day, and precip is non-existent.

The only thing more funny than the total lack of shame for local news when they "report" on power storms is that there are actually tens of thousands of people who watch, and get scared.
Fuckin retarded is what it is.
My favorite part is when they send the lowest of the low on the "reporter" totem pole out to stand on the side of I-90 at Snoqualmie Pass, or Hwy 99 in Lynnwood, or whereverthefuck, and give an eyewitness report on a snowflake.
"As you can see, it's snowing lightly here, the traffic is moving along at the speed limit, and I'm wearing a stupid parka and foul weather hat. Back to you, Dan."
Fish on...

I went out today and bought a 6000 watt generator ($2400), paid an electrician to put in a new box and connect it to all the important things in my house (especially my TV so I can get PowerStorm updates!) ($495), 250 gallons of bottled water ($199), 50 PrestoLogs ($244), 45 gallons of propane for my barbecue and space heater ($155)...and now I'm sitting at the window praying for snow.

Crazy? I heard the news and I'm ready!
I'm hunkered down in the Family Bunker with 4 weeks worth of food, water, tequila, plenty of Buffett CD's and 5,000 rounds pre-loaded in magazines for the M1A and Kimber (at my side).
No zombies. Yet.
They are crafty though. Hate zombies. Gonna be a looooong and sleepless night for sure!!!!

1.5" in McCleary. Sent the boy out to measure it while I supervised from inside. Took a day off tomorrow (had to use up my last 2010 vacation day in January or lose it).
No 33 round Glock mags here, but I think I have enough ammo and toys to keep everyone away for a while.

I think there's about an inch of slush on the street.
School delayed two hours. Still stuck at home with the kids.
This is WAY worse then any zombie invasion!
