Snow!

3″ of snow followed by 2 days of below freezing followed by 5″ of snow is enough to shutdown Seattle. We’re enjoying it.

Sledding on Thursday

Sunday Morning

This is what a major arterial looks like in Seattle

Updated!

That photo of me flying through the air was the last time that our sled ever worked. We got home and Christine was bummed, so we made a new sled out of some old wooden XC skis, some plywood, and a bit of the old sled. It is a rocket!

I like biking in this stuff. I’m glad I don’t have the commute in it, but it’s fun having a couple of snowbike days. My studded tires should arrive tomorrow (if UPS is running), just in time for the ice. I also got to try out Lee’s Pugsley in the snow. The volume helps a lot, although he reports that it doesn’t do so well in ice.

    Alex,

    It looks like you guys are enjoying yourselves. We are getting socked here in the Northeast as well. I should be used to it by now but I am not ready for the snows before Christmas.

    I bet Queen Anne is pretty awesome for sledding right now!

    It’’s fun to see you enjoying what we have here at least 4-5 month a year!!!

    I have built a pulka from the same sled as yours. Hope it will held (nothing as extreme as you do with it!!!)

    Have fun!
