Snow Day!

It snowed last night in the Pacific Northwest which means that everything is pretty much at a standstill.
It's funny, having grown up in Seattle, snow is a force you don't mess with. Hills become deadly, bridges become sheets of Ice that will do you harm, access to places is pretty much left up to walking or taking the bus. I don't see snow days as days when you should leave your house. I know the snow won't last more than a day or two but my philosophy is, if it snows, work from home or just take the day off.

However, many new people to Seattle are surprised by how badly the city shuts down. They act like it is ok to attempt to drive down the step hill of Queen Anne and when they get stuck or in an accident it comes as a shock. They then start to question why the city does not do more to fix the problem instead of asking themselves why they too stupid to realize the city can not sand a street that is too dangerous for the trucks to access.

So people, stay home!

You would not attempt to go to work in a hurricane? Why do you act like snow and ice are forces you can overcome.

I will be making candles all day and drinking tea.

I hope everyone has a relaxing day!
