Compared to other parts of the U.S. and the world, Seattle's snow is not a biggieโ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธ . . But seven inches (17+ cm) ๐ is deep enough to stop everything: school and offices closed, and it was harder than heck to get an Uber! ๐ It's hilly here ๐๏ธ and it can be scary to get around. . . We took the guys outside and the first thing Hunter did was make a beeline for the old apple tree ๐๐ณ. It's been months since he's been outdoors but he remembers bolting up the tree trunk and jumping onto the shed roof, nearly making a getaway. ๐ธ๐พ . . All week we've been hearing about "Snowmageddon" or ๐จ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธ "Snowpocalypse"--a huge snowfall that was expected today. It DID snow, and it wreaked all sorts of havoc. But it has been much less than I imagined . . Earlier today the roads were mostly bare so I thought I'd go to the grocery store to pick up some supplies. ๐ช When I arrived, it looked like the neighborhood Safeway had been looted! . . Store shelves were empty; refrigerator cases were bare; there was one carton of eggs ๐ฅ and very little fresh meat or poultry (no fish). Entire produce categories were nowhere to be seen. ๐ฅ It was just bizarre. . . An employee told me deliveries didn't make it. ๐ฆ . . Traffic was unreal everwhere. Apparently the entire city left work at noon ๐๐๐๐๐๐ and headed straight for the store to stock up. . . People wouldn't freak out as much if there was an understanding that the city will clear the roads. ๐ฃ๏ธ But because the length of time we can find ourselves snowbound is unpredictable, no one wants to take a chance ๐ฒ . . Are there snow plows or are roads salted where you live? Or do people "chill out" and enjoy the downtime? . .
