The Worst Storm that Never Was
For most of the week, the National Weather Service has had a standing Winter Storm Watch for the Puget Sound. Yesterday it turned into a Winter Storm Warning, 90% chance of snow last night, 90% chance of snow today, and 40% chance of snow tomorrow.
A bunch of schools announced snow days.
Myself and many of my co-workers are working from home to avoid the inevitable traffic snarls and potential stranding you get when you mix ice and snow with an ill-prepared municipality, a lack of deicing/snow plow equipment, and hilly roads.
And of course, as of 12:30, I've seen a grand total of 5 flakes.
At this rate it's going to go down as the "not-a-storm of '08."
