Default Snow!

I live a little southeast of Seattle, where we got about 3-4" of snow last night, but my drive south to Olympia was quite the different story. The parking lot at work had almost 10".

As a disclaimer, 10" is pushing the annual records for the Seattle area so this is a pretty big deal and the whole area is just about shut down.Damn, I'm glad I have a Rover when the weather is like this.

Sweet, We don't get a lot of snow here in Tennessee. I hate the winter but LOVE snow. I wish it would just snow one or two times ******* deep then go back to being warm. We always seem to be right at that temperature where it rains instead of snows but when it clears out it's like 10 degrees.

What tires are you running? Sorry I'm in the market for some and trying to some ideas.

My oldest son is stationed in Tacoma.
We are laughing at all of you crashing your cars, 736 car accidents in the last 24 hours because no one knows how to drive in the snow.

Good for you, enjoy it.
You have more than us, our average is 92" per year.

Default Trip to the Store in the Bainbridge Island Snow.

We got about 4 inches on the island. Schools closed, office in Seattle closed, wife and twins home. I had to get away for a few, so I made up an excuse to go to the store for wine.

I grew up in Tennessee, so I know what you mean, it's basically the same here, this is the definite exception to the rule.

Goodyear Duratracs, they are awesome all around.

We haven't had any snow in the sierra's since last year!

I'm hoping this storm will finally bring it!
