Hell, yeah, and amen, sister. This morning they said it *might* snow Friday. Everyone stock up on emergency supplies!

Fortunately, I now live in Snohomish County, where they actually have snowplows. It was such a shock the first time it snowed after we moved. King County has next to no plows. I'm used to panic and disorder. We cautious head out to the road and....it's plowed. And people are operating their motor vehicles in a suitably cautious but confident fashion. It was a brief moment of nirvana before heading south to....King County. (sigh.)

Meanwhile, we have a gazillion descriptions for partly cloudy, chance of showers.
