I’ll believe it when I see it.
Yeah, I know. But the snow freakout powers that be are pretty excited about this one. Worst case, you dress a little too warmly.
All this build up better be worth it, so far this is nothing like the ’96 snow that it was supposed to rival. Hopefully its just delayed and it comes down heavy, I’m looking forward to snowboarding down Pine.
Why do these city announcements have to be in all caps? It is much harder to scan-read all caps because your brain cant recognize word shapes. It looks amateurish. :-)
It’s because it comes off of a teletype.
Please just clean up after yourself. Everytime we have snow, people sled down the hills and leave tons of garbage behind. Not saying this is you who does it, but there’s lots of people who simply have no respect for the neighborhood
I totally agree, the clean up needs to happen. I don’t leave trash behind but I’ve seen the carnage on Denny and it’s completely unnecessary.
Yea, my dog ripped some improvised sledding devices to shit last time and I didn’t clean it up. goodtimes.
Just walked to Cupcake Royale with my Pup I needed sunglasses not ski goggles like the forecasters have met this all out to be…Over it!
Agree #3. Dear dirty Seattleites and inevitable out of towner cardboard box riding idiots. Please, oh please have some respect for our neighborhood and clean up after your terriblehipstermoustachedandrummagesaledress scumbag self once your done tempting fate, concussions and alcohol poisoning. If not, you will force me to follow you to your house and dump the garbage off on your doorstep. Or take a dump on your doorstep. Either way, you won’t be happy.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for a good time low brow trashy boozy time. Just don’t force those in the neighborhood to deal with your mess…
Sheesh, it’s like none of you have ever seen snow before. Try living where regular snow is commonplace and I promise you you would have gotten your scumag cardboardbox riding yahoos out by the time you were just able to grow out that horrible moustache or filling out that burlap sack of a dress.
@SnowShmow, your fitting rant about following the offenders home reminds me of one of my favorite books by Carl Hiassen, “Sick Puppy” Here’s an piece of the writeup.
“After watching Stoat blithely dump a trail of fast-food litter out the window, Twilly decides to teach him a lesson. Thus, Stoat’s prized Range Rover becomes index to a horde of hungry dung beetles. Which could have been the end to it had Twilly not discovered that Stoat is one of Florida’s cockiest and most powerful political fixers, whose latest project is the “malling” of a pristine Gulf Coast island. Now the real Hiaasen-variety fun begins …”
I recommend the read to everyone, it’s hilariously cynical http://www.carlhiaasen.com/books/books-sick.html
How about the “Iwo Jima Day Snowstorm of 2011”
