Adventures of a Vagabond

Days like today I’m really glad I bus to work. It’s well known that Seattle shuts down when it snows even an inch, but today is really exceptional. Last night we were hit with snow showers–very wet snow that’s on the edge of becoming rain. We accumulated no more than an inch, but it dropped below freezing last night, which means all of that turned into solid sheets of ice. Walking down sidewalks produces this cool *crunch crunch* sound, but it equivlates to a disaster in traffic terms, especially with all the hills here.
