Where are my sled dogs when I need them?

There was not one single snowflake when I left downtown at 4:30. By the time I hit the Lake City Way exit, it was hailing and by the time I made it 15th Ave it was blowing snow. Cars were sliding down the hill and into each other. Rather than risk expensive body work and/or an auto insurance claim, I abandoned ship at 104th and 15th and walked

Glad you made it home safe, if not dry and warm!

I think it was 1996, when we had that big snowfall - I got a bus from Bellevue to Lake Forest Park, managed to get my car out of the parking at LFP, and made it half-way up the 145th St hill, where I abandoned the vehicle someplace before 25th, and walked home from there. Lots of pillowy snow that night, not much ice 'till later.

I'm going to try to get to the office tomorrow morning - may need skates, tho!

My heroic bus driver made it all the way to 35th and 125th before getting impossibly stuck, so I only had to walk 13 blocks, though I was dying to go to the bathroom. Fortunately, I made it to the QFC and used their restroom. I was only one hour late getting home and the Hounds were wonderful -- no accidents!

I'm at work today -- the buses had chained up this morning and the U almost never closes. Sigh.

That's quite a hike -- good thing you work out regularly!
