Hey- it's now our turn for an ice-storm! Well, ice glazing would be more accurate. Woke up to the sound of crystals hitting the roof, and I guess the roads are a mess. It's supposed to continue all day, and then warm up tonight and turn into slush. Very weird weather.

I just came back inside from meeting with a roofer and I am HOT! No, not that kind of hot, warm Hot. It's in the 80's here. I feel for the ice storms and such, but I'd really prefer some WEATHER, people! 80-something degrees is NOT "weather".

Well, we're back from Seattle. It was pretty cold. When we arrived on Saturday, it was raining, which turned into ice pellets (like 1/8 inch, if that big), and even a few flakes that never reached the ground. The fountain in front of the hotel in Redmond was freezing over. Up in some of the hillier areas in the NW it was icy/slushy. But that's as bad as it got. Sunday it was chilly, but I'd say no colder than mid-30s, and not a drop of rain. Today, it rained pretty good through the afternoon, but again not all that cold.

We did hear on Saturday that flights to Portland were being canceled/diverted to Sea-Tac because of the ice.

I live in the town with no weather. It's very Truman Show.

Ice pellets? WTF? Sounds like something I would put in a glass of iced tea and we call it....get this....ice.

Claire..please get some video of the "running man". A must see I'm sure.

Yeah. Cold in Seattle. A long sleeve shirt, a sweater, a jacket, still cold. I enjoyed the novelty of it. What a total tourist I am.

Does the mailman really show up during ice storms?

We had a white cat, with one green eye and one blue eye, that we named Expo '74.
