Snow?

At 4 p.m. this afternoon, Seattle was to be hit by a massive snowstorm. Roads were closed, bus lines were altered, after school activities canceled, schools closed early. It's now 7 p.m. not a snowflake has fallen, not even a raindrop.

For those of you who did not survive the "Great Snow Storm of November" may not understand. It was so bad the Monday before Thanksgiving, buses and cars skidded, and slid their way through the city. The bridges connecting Seattle and the east side had cars sitting on them for five hours. It was horrible! Horrible! People were stranded a mile from their homes, grocery stores were being plundered. It was chaos. Absolute chaos! We had so much snow were being compared to the Russian Tundra.

It was horrible. You could see the curb, the sidewalk, and it took less than 30 seconds to wipe snow off the car.

It was a snowstorm, only people from the south could understand.

So, this morning, the word "snow" created a panic like no other. Chris's coworker received a call from the dentist, asking to change the appointment.

"It was canceled because of weather. Weather," he told Chris in astonishment.

Apparently, Seattlites, are a very paranoid bunch when it comes to the white stuff. In the meantime, we're settling onto the couch, and watching and waiting for the mysterious snowstorm.
