I hope this crap is dealt with by MLK Jr. weekend. I'm planning to come over with two of my girls to go to the Lucy exhibit (and other stuff) and I'm not interested in scary Seattle drivers (plus we want to use public transpo, as much as possible).

LOL... Metro and Sound transit are VERY PO'ed about their latest treatment. Many of their buses AND their commuter trains were stuck in the 2nd snowstorm and ice. Many of the buses could not make their general routes in the downtown city center. Moreover if they did make it, they were extraordinarily late. Folks either were fed up and did not go into work.
My husband chose to drive, he has 4-wheel drive. The freeways were clear! It was tough getting to the freeways from the side streets due to the stupidity of King county and Seattle's Mayor's office.
That Mercer St.--is already a mess--called the Mercer mess, but it took 2 hours to move the less than 1 quarter of a mile distance. I used to drive that when I worked over there--it was bad when it was dry and in the rain--imagine when there is ALOT of snow and ice? Glad I don't do that anymore...
As far as MLK day--who knows? We are schedule for snow on 12/31 and a few days later. But it may be snow/rain showers and mostly in the foothills...
My husband and I are thinking there will be another snow shower in the Southern North Pole...
