 NB>> on the radio that Seattle had quite the dump of snow...

 MK> I heard the same but they didn't say how much. 

I heard 2 feet...

That's pretty impressive.... 

 MK> On the plus side, we managed to avoid the gale force winds and never

Good that you avoided wind damage.... So far, despite gale force winds,
we've not lost power at all this year....
 
 MK> Also on the snow front news is that we're set to break the alltime
 MK> record for the amount of snow on the ground for Febuary and it isn't

With temps that low, you'll likely keep the snow a while... instead of
it just melting off right away.... 

We just got a sloppy mess... snow, sleet and freezing rain... made for
slushy roads, and then as the temps dropped, that all turned to ice...
we were out in it for most of yesterday.... the ice didn't happen until
overnight.... and we didn't have to go out today, which was a good
thing....

... I was not CREATING a disturbance, I was improving one already there.
