Seattle Snow: Round Two





After our week of snow that left us with a white Christmas, I was (un)pleasantly surprised tonight when I left work and discovered huge snowflakes falling from the sky. What was worse is that they were starting to stick, and if they were sticking down by the waterfront, that meant that there was definitely going to be a coat of snow on the ground on the way home. My car isn't really made for snow driving, although I'm generally okay with it when forced. I don't mind driving in snow if I have to, but I prefer not to. It just seems like the possibility of an accident happening is enhanced, even if it isn't my fault.

Anyhow, I have an internship interview in the morning so I'm hoping that it does turn to rain and wash away like the weather forecasters claim will happen. This interview has already been rescheduled about three times, once of which was because of the snow. I've got my fingers crossed!

The snow is really pretty though. I took a few pictures out the window with the flash off, so they turned out mostly blurry. A few are above. My favorite is the one in the middle with the construction cranes against the sky. The longer exposure gave the sky a weird tone. Creepy, but cool.

Alien Clouds!



I ran across the above picture on a local news station's website. Fascinating cloud formations! I've never seen those before, but I'll be sure to keep a closer eye on Mt. Ranier from now on. Follow this link for more cool photos of this unusual phenomenon.

Seattle Sunset



Although I am happy that Fall has finally reared its ugly head and we will only have grey skies and rain for the next 9 months, I was happy to get these sunset shots last week while it was still nice out. Taken from the rooftop deck of my building. They aren't nearly as good as the real thing! I had happened to go up there one evening on a whim and made it just in time to watch the sun go down behind the Olympics. I'm a sucker for mountains.
