annathepiper: (Snowy Yahoo Anna)
First snow of the season just rolled in on us, folks, big time. It's coming down fast, hard flurries at this point, but the forecast is saying up to three inches. This should make the weekend interesting. If the Murk goes down, this'll be why.

Anybody else seeing snow yet? Seattle metro area snow roll call!

ETA 1:43pm: Wow, we are upgrading fast from flurry to genuine hard snow shower, and the flakes are falling fast and huge. Starting to stick to the patio just outside. This'll be fun.

ETA 1:52pm: Good steady snow shower now, with large, distinct flakes. [livejournal.com profile] solarbird is about to try to take pictures. We're getting light accumulation on the patio and roof, and I see a tiny, poor confused birdie on the patio. No doubt wondering "WTF?! WTF?! WTF?!" in its little finchy brain. Weather.com has Kenmore's temperature steadily dropping.

ETA 2:03pm: Accumulation now building up on the lawn, though not yet on the driveway and the street. I see slushy buildup on the patio, though.

ETA 2:27pm: Starting to stick on the patio and down on the street as well. If I look out the front window, there's an impressive blur of white out over the houses and treetops. And our next-door neighbor just inched very, very carefully down their snow-slick driveway, and kind of erratically too. I begin to doubt we'll be able to have our usual Saturday night pizza!

ETA 2:38pm: Smaller flakes now, but the shower is still steady. The temperature at our house has dropped below freezing, so this slushy buildup on our patio and down on the street ought to be freezing over any time now.

ETA 3:21pm: The street is white! And downtown Kenmore's at 32F now, we're more like 30F according to our thermometer. Snow's still coming down, though now in tiny, hard-blowing flakes.

ETA 3:45pm: And now we look like we've sputtered out, down to only a few occasional flakes, not even a real flurry. That was fun. ^_^

ETA 4:08pm: Whoops, they turned the snow back on! At it again.
annathepiper: (Winter)
So after a brief lull this afternoon, the snow kicked in again. We're back to heavy, large flakes coming down like nobody's business out there. And while Pagliacci's is indeed delivering, I just got called by their dispatcher saying that our delivery will in fact be late because of the snow! I assured them that that is quite all right, and that we have a hefty tip waiting for whoever's coming up the hill. Our pizza bill is $34 and change tonight, but fuck it, they get $40. Because wow, I appreciate not having to go out in this. :)

Also, in honor of the Decembery weather, I've broken my old Winter icon back out again, as well as Snowy Yahoo Anna for my previous post. I think I'll be able to reinstate Christmas Yahoo Anna, too, now that I have icon slots again!
