Snow day
Wednesday, November 29, 2006
On Sunday when I drove up, it started snowing in Seattle. When I got there, it looked to be about one inch. I don’t think that any of the roads I drove on had any snow left.
The next day it snowed another inch. The entire city of Seattle shut down. No one went to work.
I don’t know why the northwest gets so freaked out about snow. It’s not like Seattle or Portland are boring, but if it snows even one inch, it’s likely to surpass every other news story that evening. People stay home. Schools close.
Of course, as weird as Seattle and Portland are about snow, it’s nothing compared to how neurotic Los Angeles is about rain. For the first rain of the season in Los Angeles, you turn on the evening news and I guarantee you will hear about at least five accidents caused by commuters “skidding” into head-on collisions.
