Snow

Calvin: "It snowed last night! Turn on the radio! Maybe they closed school. Maybe the school buses froze up! Maybe the principal can't get out of his driveway!" Calvin's Mom: "Get dressed, Calvin. It only snowed an inch." Calvin: "Getting an inch of snow is like winning 10 cents in the lottery."


Alright, this is it. A decent chance for "measurable" snow, starting tonight. The last two snow events in Seattle have almost completely passed us by, while areas less than 5 miles away had 3-4 inches. I was watching the radar loops, and there was a 1 acre dry spot directly over our house, while everyone else was getting snow. Mom and Dad had a foot in Friday Harbor!

We're well inland, well above sea level, practically in the Cascades if you ask me. Ryan says there is not a single time that the "Weather News" has been right, so even he is getting cynical.

But tonight could change all that, with lots of moisture, then real cold weather for the rest of the week. Whatever comes down should stick, and then stay around. Here's hoping.

By the way, there is a great online gallery of Calvin and Hobbes snow comics here:
