Snowpocalypse 2008
Tuesday, December 23, 2008
Today (Monday, as I write this blog) I attempted to make it to Paizo and failed after a 4x4 monster truck thought it would be a good idea to stop in the middle of Interstate 90 and check his tires. The resulting car slide melee that (thankfully) resulted in no accidents led me to the conclusion that turning around and going home would be wise. It's very bad out here and as James said yesterday in his blog when you take very bad snow (especially for us) and combine that with hills and a lot of people who are not used to driving in anything more than heavy rain you get Snowpocalypse 2008.
After I decided to return home, I stopped by Burger King to stock up on healthy provisions before returning home. I'm an amateur photographer and figured Burger King would be as good a place as any to take some "proof of snow" pictures for our community.
 Pulling up the drive-through at Burger King. Note the solid block of ice that is the driveway. |
 Avalanche! |
 A nearby intersection. Note how the sidewalk, wooden boardwalk, and road are all one giant white mass. |
 Eastbound I-90. One lane is an icy slush and the rest are just ice. |
Hoping to return to the office soon,
