Dang, it's cold outside! We're getting massive amounts of snow (for Puget Sound). It snowed last Sunday night and I awoke to a blanket of snow on the ground Monday morning. It slowly started melting, but then it started snowing again yesterday afternoon; and this time it's much worse. We're getting up to 8" of snow around the Sound.
That's not nice. Seattle's supposed to get rain, not snow. So whoever is making it snow, STOP IT!
I know this isn't much snow compared to other parts of the country, but other parts of the country aren't here

Rare snow blankets Seattle, canceling flights and wreaking havoc

Seattle, Washington -- There was an unusual sight at the world-famous Pike Place Market in Seattle Saturday morning: about 4 inches of snow on the ground already. Two to six more inches of snow were in the forecast as a winter storm pounded the state.
Washington Governor Jay Inslee declared a state of emergency Friday for the entire state and urged people to stay off the roads. People cleared grocery store shelves as they rushed to prepare.

More than six inches of snow fell at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. At least 200 flights were canceled to accommodate the winter weather, and a snowball fight unfolded between workers on the tarmac.

Conditions are likely to let up later in the day, but another storm system is expected to push across the area late Sunday. That system could bring even more snow.
