This is all sorts of entertaining, as an ex-Alaskan living down here — a rare early March snowstorm is more or less shutting western Washington down. I can understand, as Seattle has hills that Anchorage doesn’t…but it’s still pretty entertaining to see all this after an inch or two of snow. Right now there’s pictures on the morning news of the West Seattle bridge backed up after two Metro buses jackknifed, and people have been abandoning their cars along the sides of the highways and walking.
