Frightful enough that bus service was cancelled halfway through the snowy Green Bay Packers vs. Seahawks game, forcing thousands of fans to stay the night in pricey Seattle hotels.

Frightful enough that people on the way home from last night were on the road for over 8 hours. At 7 a.m., there was an evening/morning commute– a combination of people coming home from work the night before and headed to work that morning. Sometimes a usual 10 minute drive took people 4 hours. People slept in their car. Articulated buses jack-knifed. Some people have abandoned their cars and decided to walk to the nearest hotel for the night.

Seattle Public Schools and several others closed today due to the snow and ice. I don’t think it’s going to thaw before tomorrow–the low tonight is expected to be 18F, so I don’t know what’s going to happen.

In other news, the Mt. Baker ski resort has a record of snow: 98 inches in 5 days.

The weather people are counting down the hours until November is over. This month has brought us floods, record rain fall, snow, ice, and record low temperatures. I find it exciting :).
