01/06/2005 Archived Entry: "Snow and Seattle"

Seattlelites love talking about the weather when there is a hint that there might be snow. Currently it is cold, but above freezing, and light rain is dribbling from clouds lit by light pollution. If it snows tonight, it won't be much, but it will be much discussed. People ask each other about their commutes, and if they want snow, or dread snow. "I want snow -- three day weekend!" explains one office worker. "I have to come to work tomorrow, and I have to drive an hour," explains another worker. "You folks can't drive in winter weather," comments a passerby dismissively.


I think most Seattlelites sometimes like, sometimes despise snow, depending on their commute, how their driveways are situated, or how their health is, but we all love talking about snow that might fall.
