Seattle is Snow-down.
Gridlock, impossible, avoid, dangerous, difficulty, troubled.
Those are the description for today’s traffic as affected by the continuous falling snow that had blanketed nearly the entire state, or King County at the very least. Those are also the reason why I am not on a bus to work right now.
With vehicles going less than a third of their regular driving speed, the metro is severely handicapped (although #346 near Northgate kept pushing through and was not late). Driving on the road is indeed unsafe with a number of fender bender due to slippery road, cars stuck on roadside, even the highway (520) between Seattle and Bellevue is shutoff for safety reasons.
It does look bad, but mostly inconvenient. What I realized, is our reliance on technology and how a simple snow storm can make such an impact.
Snow is still falling, and the most convention way of transport, walking, is being fully utilized today.

I was searching for expense-tracking excel sheets, came across your comment here http://www.getrichslowly.org/blog/2006/05/25/handy-personal-finance-spreadsheets/#comment-144331
yet decided to make my own excel sheet, but I am drawing some aspects from your sheet, including the drop down sheet, and consolidated yearly/categorical report.
This comment is to thank you for your excel sheet which is helping me create my own.
Thank you again.
PS: I too am using an RSS feed for twitter.
