Last week was like a traffic vacation week. Seattle and several other school districts were on mid-winter break. This has now ended, and the low temperatures have stayed in place. That means the precipitation falling can be snow, rain or like last night, hail.
Our bit of hail never left, it just morphed into a crusty ice that didn’t want to leave the car windows this morning.
Carl was heroic and scraped his windows enough to move his car from the driveway to the street. This would allow me to get my car out of the driveway. All of this done in his bare feet (why? I don’t know.)
And I managed to get a carpool ride in, so my car will remain parked all day.
It may not look like much, but it’s just enough to make you wonder about the roads.
And as we enter the city where I work, there is still snow around.
Cars that didn’t make it up the hill yesterday, or chose to park on the main road instead of attempting the >10 percent grade side roads.
