It has been snowing all day, but we don't have more than 2-3 inches since yesterday. Sounds like the big storm expected to hit Seattle went further south. News is reporting nearly a foot of snow once you go south past Olympia.
Still, the roads are covered here and everything is nice and quiet. I got some driving in to go get lunch, so I'm a happy camper.

Ya we had maybe half a foot this morning. Fresh powder too. The truck did fine going to work i hit one curb cause my front tires were sliding so i ended up going into the opposite lane then once i fumbled my way over to my lane And in the process of trying to re-correct and the front tires once again slid into a curb. It was a small bump but whatever. Then going to lunch i decided to try out 4wd... Not a good idea i was almost driving sideways the who way.

We finished up with maybe 4-5" of snow. The snow turned to light rain late this afternoon and then freezing rain tonight. The front of the truck was covered in a layer of ice when I got home tonight. It looks like a bad application of that 3M clear chip protector tape you can put on new vehicles.
I didn't brave work today, but I'm going to try it out tomorrow.

I think i had about the same onug you live near Auburn by chance? I had to work which ment shoveling snow ans working with the quicklube. Not too much to do but i washed 2 cars today and "helped" with a few customers. I checked tire pressure and lights... I tried building a snowman but apparently as i walked away it fell over so i grabbed the middle ball and left it on the hood of my truck, it lasted a little while before sliding off. Once the rain started everything had a hard crust on it making it interesting

I live in the Kirkland area. This is the first time I've experienced freezing rain. It was interesting to find my truck under a thick layer of ice this morning. The freeways are still covered in snow, so my commute was a bit longer this morning.
I just checked the truck. The ice in my tonneau is over a 1/2" thick. The drive home tonight will be fun. Hopefully my doors don't freeze shut.

We ended the epic storm with 9 inches. That friggin ice storm was a pain. I didn't bother going to work....don't want to deal with the ice. Weather service says we're in for 1-2 inches of snow then tomorrow it changes to rain. That's just lovely. But I did have a little fun sliding around corners doing a little drift action. 4Hi is getting a work out!!
