Well this is my second snowstorm in Seattle… and overall, i’m not sure it has gotten much better. Some snow removal techniques seemed to be better… but alas, the people, the institutions surrounding snow has, pardon the pun, melted down yet again. This snowstorm i was lucky enough to work for a company that i can walk to work to… so i didn’t have problems getting to and from work… other than some of the standard inconveniences of slick sidewalks (which are to be expected) and laughing at the dramatization of Seattle-ites – and then it got worse. 1st, the schools made the wise decision. The universities and companies slowly started to dismiss… but a lot of the dismissals didn’t start to happen until rush hour was underway. Having traffic and serious weather begin to happen at the same time became a recipe for disaster.
Seattle is full of hills, anything that comes down is WET. Below freezing temperatures + water = ice. Basic chemistry folks. However, inordinate amount of cars on the field, plows can’t get to the road. Nothing can get done.
Seriously, Seattle – just stop. Just close down. Admit you aren’t ready for the weather. The gridlock in a snowstorm is embarrassing. Watching a city so paralyzed for so little slow, is befuddling. National news can make fun of us. They kinda have the right. But i’m gonna choose to find it endearing. #snOMG
