Amusing news post at Penny Arcade today Re: Seattle

The weather here is pretty screwed up, slush and ice (with a chance of late afternoon blood) which kept us both home today. In Spokane, there would be gravel out and other public safety measures, but when snow falls over on this side of the state people don't see it as weather, it's seen as a portent - evidence of an angry pantheon. A single snowflake will fall on their windshield, and they will immediately swerve their SUV into a truck hauling fuel. Faced with miles of ice and idiots between his home and work (and a reported eight hour commute), Gabe chose to hole up in Fort Krahulik, which means no tablet and no scanner. I really like the result.)

Amusing - apparently (according to the article above) incoming rain is expected to melt the snow, so that's very nice for all the Seattlealians.
