Derailed. That’s just about how I’m feeling right now. After being snowed-in all day Sunday, I’m doubtful I’ll be able to make it up and down the large hills around my house in order to make
it into work.
Almost time to send the two 15-pound fluffy dogs out foraging for supplies and food. Are you faring any bette
r? Photo is from the Madison Street cable car stock-still in 1929.

I was hoping you’d post some snow photos! West Seattle looks pretty bad, from last night’s alarmist newsreporting on Northwest Cable News. Stay warm and safe!
As much as the streetcars used in various places around the world were and are wonderful things, it didn’t take much snow or ice to shut the systems down. But really, guys, suck it up. We had 18 inches in about 16 hours starting at 9am friday here in the frozen north. And then it dropped 12 degrees celcius to -14 degrees meaning now everything is froxen solid. It’s not too bad getting around but parking is a nightmare since they seem to have just shoved it off the road into the parking spaces.
Winnie: Point taken. But the only reason I’m complaining is because one inch of snow is threatening a few days of my workweek. It’s the shear absurdity of it! That’s what happens when you grow up on the east coast.

And yet as a transplanted Canuck in Houston, Texas, I’d love just a half inch of the stuff now. Even if I KNOW it would shut down all of Harris County!
