As usual, the reports of impending snow in Seattle were greatly exaggerated. There was a bit on Monday, but not enough to justify playing hooky from work (although I know quite a few folks who live on the Eastside who couldn’t — or at least didn’t — drive in). There is still some snow in […]
I’m in California for the weekend visiting my family. I just decided to check weather back in Seattle so that I’d know what to expect upon arriving early tomorrow morning. Gorgeous:
