A prediction of 6 to 8 inches of snow between Friday night and Saturday and people in Seattle go nuts. I went to the store to pick up a pound of coffee that I had forgotten to buy when I got my normal groceries the other day. I went there not realizing the local world had gone mad. You would have thought a category 5 hurricane was predicted that was going to knock out all normal city functions and facilities for the next month instead of a 24 hour, weekend, snow event with some wind but little to no snow in the following week. The shelves were emptied of things like bread, milk, meat, butter and not even one carton of eggs was left in the mega grocery store. It was an interesting experience and it was rather fun amusement to see the over reaction to the weather forecast of a few inches of snow. You would think they have never heard of having few extra days of food in the freezer and pantry. These were not typically people living in poverty who have limited resources although there are street boondock, van/RV dwellers in the neighborhood. But I only saw one of those rigs in the big parking lot.
I will be sure to go outside a couple of times to do some snow removal from the roof of my fiberglass trailer even though it is not likely to rain on the snow and make it overly heavy. No doubt the wind will take most of it off for me. But there is a cargo trailer next to me that is taller so that might keep the wind from removing some of it.
