Come Snow! Come...lightning?!

[The Flayed One]

For those of you who don't know, Seattle has been getting dumped on way more than the city is used to. It's nothing compared to what I used to see in the midwest, but Seattle, being built on hills and not being used to it, has gone berserk.

I haven't been able to get to work. We're expecting windstorms tonight, along with freezing rain.

None of this is the point, though. Thursday morning at around 5:30am I witnessed something I may never see again in my life. It was snowing hard, and there was lightning and thunder. It was one of the most beautiful things I had ever witnessed, and I hope other people get to see it at least once in their life. Amazing what mother nature can do when she feels like it.

Yep. I hate winter in New England. My mom has been without power for over a WEEK now (since the 11th). She's been crashing in our tiny apartment and now we have a good four inches on the ground with another six expected before Monday. Awesome.

I haven't had my heat on for 2 days now, wore a short sleeved shirt on my errands today.
The temp hit around 71 degrees.
No reason for telling all you people who are cold now.
No reason at all.

We have been having rain here too and it rattles the bones with its chill brrrr.

[The Mothman]

its snowing an assload out here in Boston. It even snowed when I when down in New Orleans!

[monalisa]

It snowed all day here in Minneapolis. Now the wind has picked up and the temp is plummeting. We're supposed to have -30 wind chill tomorrow. Brrrrrrr.

Beautiful lightning Flayed! I've seen flashes of lightning during snowstorms before, even colored flashes, but never bolts like that.

Oh yeah, in Los Angeles we had, um, rain last week, lots of rain, now it is sunny and warmer but kinda cold at night, not as bad as it was when it was raining--it was really cold and you could see snow in the low mountains around here--lower than it usually goes--and of course the nearby counties, the higher desert areas and so forth, had lots of snow.

And then they say there's gonna be rain Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, possibly. Which is unique, for here!

Keep warm, folks!
