I don't know, ruby! Nothing scheduled there that I know of for the next 24 months :( I'll have to come on my own!

Lxy, yes! And will you come to jaq's for impromptu bbq?

I am so happy to be here. It just feels so right, this city. Lovely dinner with jaq and mr. jaq, they are such dears for picking me up!
Yayyyyyyy. Tomorrow/friday I will be near jerg's old stomping grounds! Walked to drug store to pick up water, saw an endearing hobo and the SLUT!

it was superfun to see you this afternoon, terez. thanks for coming over!!

thanks for having me, and congrats on your lovely home!

i am getting excited but sad i only have two days. already sad!

ugh. it's totally lower queen anne! sheesh. uptown sounds too much like belltown which is not(own) for me.

i wish you were all here right this minute

oh hi!!!!!!!!!!!

hi!!

My neighbor across the street, whom some of you have met, appears to be shoveling the entire street. He picks up a scoop of snow from the road, then carries it out to the roundabout and dumps it. Then back for another.

wow, that's ambitious! our neighbor shoveled not only the main sidewalk in front of our house, but also the sidewalk leading to our front stairs. why? i don't know!

jaq, isn't it so quiet and beautiful tonight? <3

It is, all glowing and covered in a soft clean blanket!

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

but it's not that soft! the snow is covered by a crunchy layer of ice. it's really weird.

still cozy though.

what is the prognosis for tomorrow?

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.

thx jaq!

meeee toooooo!

woohooooo! just got the text alert that UW has suspended operations for tomorroooooowwwwww!!!!!!!!!

hurrayyyyyy!!!~!

now sccc, come through for us plzzzzzz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh yeah babeeee!!!! More snow angels!!!

All my guys from Birmingham are here this week; I feel bad for them being stuck in a hotel.

oh no, the poor guys!

also, again: hurray!!!!!11

Mr. Jaq was dressed as an intrepid winter ninja this morning:

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.

OH MY GOD HE IS READY FOR ANYTHING!!!!

i like the woolly cut of his jib.

graupel. it's graupelling.

It's still snowing

holy crap! another inch of snow on top of the graupel!

It's madness!

looks like j will be taking the bus to the airport, and i'll get another day at home.

so :( and :)

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!

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!!

i'm happy it's too snowy for work.

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.

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!

oh good, jaq, so glad you made that decision. how are the alabamans doing?

They got into the office yesterday afternoon apparently, brave souls! They are leaving tomorrow I think.

Though I wish they'd stay so I could work with them a little before they go! They're super to work with.

won't they be glad to go home!

Too right, especially after this week of weather! We probably won't see them here again until summer.

made it to the office - the side streets are too rotten still, but the main roads are more soupy than slick.

oh! so glad you didn't have trouble!

j made it from home to the gate in ~ 1 hour.
