The roads are sheets of ice here in the Two-Five-Three.

I made it to the clinic okay, and have a full schedule. But I'm praying for lots of no-shows. Christmas vacation (five full days off) starts at 5!

1. Yikes! We had to cancel (postpone)

our trip from e. Washington to Grandma's on Olympic Peninsula yesterday due to weather and road concerns.

Really shitty because Grandma is likely in her final decline and we really need to be there for/with her!

Hope we will be able to get there next week.

Enjoy your break. See you here tonight for cocktails?

[Aristus]

2. Definitely!

7. I 90 was closed in both directions off and on yesterday.

There is a way to sign of for updates sent via text from DOT website. I am a bit north of Spokane and FYI snowing now.

3. Glad you're OK. I turned down a free breakfast this morning...

no way I'm getting out in that shit. And I'm in King County.

4. My car was frozen solid

Now I know why I needed to buy a house with a garage.

Didn't.

Damn

5. I'm just hoping we don't lose power!

6. A few years ago, in the 8-2 (South Korea)

Check out the guy that appears at ~ 0:25.
Judging by Google results, this event spurred some corrective actions.

9. God, I hate ice. Glad you made it to the clinic without mishap. I'm wishing you a safe drive

home and a very good, very relaxing Christmas vacation.

[Aristus]

10. Thank you!

I'm hoping the roads will be salted or sanded by the time I head home. Had to drive verrrrrry slowly to work.

11. Aristus, you work in Pliladelphia. Are we still allowed to use studded snow tires?

[Aristus]

12. Actually, I work in Tacoma, Washington. I don't know anything about Penn-DOT.

I live in a small town called Puyallup, about a twenty minute drive from Tacoma. Luckily, I've never needed studded tires. They must be a pain to install and change every year.

[debm55]

13. Sorry. I used them one year for a 10 mile drive to my job. I used to put the car in neutral going

down hill. Studded tires were great, but having an ice strorm was so rare, it became a pain because they can only be used from Nov. to April. Glad you made it safely to work and be safe on the way home.
