i really love the temperate climate of the bay area but dang if i don't love ~in theory~ the idea of cozy snowy nights
― smoove operator, Thursday, 19 January 2012 03:32 (twelve years ago) link
but it's not that soft! the snow is covered by a crunchy layer of ice. it's really weird.
― lxy, Thursday, 19 January 2012 03:48 (twelve years ago) link
still cozy though.
what is the prognosis for tomorrow?
― lxy, Thursday, 19 January 2012 04:11 (twelve years ago) link
I think a bit more snow overnight, but falling slowly. And it's supposed to stay below freezing. Then something like a 60% chance of more snow tomorrow. I hope I can stay home again.

Mr. Jaq was dressed as an intrepid winter ninja this morning:http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7034/6720752509_cc063d1c9c.jpg
He's planning to walk over to work again tomorrow regardless, but I'm not leaving the house if I can help it! I like looking out the window at the snow with a nice warm cup of coffee in my hands.
― jaq, Thursday, 19 January 2012 05:16 (twelve years ago) link
OH MY GOD HE IS READY FOR ANYTHING!!!!

― lxy, Friday, 20 January 2012 03:32 (twelve years ago) link
I'm supposed to try to get to Redmond tomorrow morning for a 9 am meeting. Will it happen? OR WON'T IT???
I hope the buses are running - I haven't seen or heard a 60 or 131 for 2 days!
― jaq, Friday, 20 January 2012 03:55 (twelve years ago) link
we walked over to 4th & it looks pretty good. even saw a bus! should be fine, a straight shot to tukwila.
in other news, uw's emergency blog must be inundated with people trying to find out about tomorrow; can't get the page to load! i wanna know!!
― lxy, Friday, 20 January 2012 04:15 (twelve years ago) link
i'm happy it's too snowy for work.
― estela, Friday, 20 January 2012 06:36 (twelve years ago) link
yes, it's getting kinda silly now, third day off, and monday was the MLK holiday. good, though, because it's mean out! still super icey, but also kinda melty, so big hunks are falling out of trees. a branch came off the neighbor's tree itno our yard last night. i'm a bit worried for the trees and the things under them. be safe, trees & people!
jergins' 9 am flight was cancelled and he was rebooked for noon. good wishes for people flying over snow and ice.
― lxy, Friday, 20 January 2012 15:56 (twelve years ago) link
fingers x'd for flyers! I don't even want to think about driving, so told the people who want this meeting I can't get there and we can meet on the internet b/c we live in the FUTURE!
― jaq, Friday, 20 January 2012 15:59 (twelve years ago) link
oh good, jaq, so glad you made that decision. how are the alabamans doing?
― lxy, Friday, 20 January 2012 16:02 (twelve years ago) link
They got into the office yesterday afternoon apparently, brave souls! They are leaving tomorrow I think.
― jaq, Friday, 20 January 2012 16:07 (twelve years ago) link
Though I wish they'd stay so I could work with them a little before they go! They're super to work with.
― jaq, Friday, 20 January 2012 16:09 (twelve years ago) link
won't they be glad to go home!
― lxy, Friday, 20 January 2012 16:10 (twelve years ago) link
Too right, especially after this week of weather! We probably won't see them here again until summer.
― jaq, Friday, 20 January 2012 16:33 (twelve years ago) link
made it to the office - the side streets are too rotten still, but the main roads are more soupy than slick.
― jaq, Friday, 20 January 2012 18:41 (twelve years ago) link
oh! so glad you didn't have trouble!
j made it from home to the gate in ~ 1 hour.

by the time i went to bed on thursday, there had been 4.5 inches of snow, 1/2 inch of graupel, then another 1.5 inches of snow. a branch fell off a tree in my yard, which knocked a lilac tree over. crazy few days.

Amanda Knox should go to Miami. She can get Latin man in Miami. why Italy? or She can go to Georgetown area near boeing field. She can meet Latin man there. haha why Italy? She needs to chec mapqwest because Italy is not the only county that awesome but there are others.
