Apparently, 2008 wants to go out with a bang. It did so in spectacular fashion in Seattle between Wednesday 12/17 and Monday 12/22 by first sending a blast of cold air down from Canada that sent temperatures dropping below freezing starting on the 14th, then dumping all the snow it could muster across the area. This was no lily-livered dusting that freaks everyone out like OTHER Seattle snowstorms – this was the real deal. No less than a foot of snow fell across western Washington, and some places like Duvall saw as much as 19″.
What follows is my story of the very interesting events that unfolded during those five days.
