A view of Alki Beach yesterday, just down the hill from us. Only 17 degrees this morning in Seattle, bitter cold, but warm compared to 20 below on the other side of the mountains.
The sidewalks and side streets are covered in a sheet of ice. It would be challenging just loading the car in the dark. And then-- 230 miles of snow covered mountain highways all the way to Twisp in sub-zero temperatures. And then-- not sure we could even get down the driveway when we arrive. Disappointing, but these senior citizens will take a rain check on travel today.
This too shall pass, but not without more misery first. A warm and wet Pacific front is aimed at the Northwest, so they're predicting an ice storm tomorrow as it transitions over to rain. Then flooding possible next week from an atmospheric river. The weather delights just keep on coming. There's plenty to share all across the country.
In the meantime. Everyone is safe and warm at home this morning. Thank goodness. Amanda and Nova were actually in Seattle yesterday (we didn't see them) with a group of friends. They came over to see a Broadway musical and do some shopping, then made the long trip back to the Valley last night.
