Compared to other parts of the U.S. and the world, Seattle's snow is not a biggie❄️❄️❄️ . . But seven inches (17+ cm) 📏 is deep enough to stop everything: school and offices closed, and it was harder than heck to get an Uber! 🚘 It's hilly here 🏞️ 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 🍎🌳. 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. 😸🐾 . . All week we've been hearing about "Snowmageddon" or 🌨️☃️❄️ "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. 🏪 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 🥚 and very little fresh meat or poultry (no fish). Entire produce categories were nowhere to be seen. 🥔 It was just bizarre. . . An employee told me deliveries didn't make it. 😦 . . Traffic was unreal everwhere. Apparently the entire city left work at noon 🚗🚘🚙🚎🚕🚃 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. 🛣️ But because the length of time we can find ourselves snowbound is unpredictable, no one wants to take a chance 🎲 . . Are there snow plows or are roads salted where you live? Or do people "chill out" and enjoy the downtime? . .
