Seattle is weird when it snows.  People who can barely manage to drive in the rain somehow think they can take on a blizzard, no problem.   Which is why we have 17-car pile ups and abandoned vehicles on the freeway.

Today I watched an SUV turn on to my street and skid all over the place, nearly wiping out our mailbox – and he didn’t even slow down afterward.

This is a view of the same street from our upstairs bedroom window. Too bad I’m still pretty sick – normally I would have run out and asked if I could hitch a ride.
