Snowpocalypse 2007

It's been snowing here in Redmond for over four hours and the highways are only now starting to clear up (the overturned bus on 520 has been cleared). I've been stuck at work, occasionally looking out the window to see the streets turned into very narrow parking lots, with the occasional fenderbender or car in the ditch.

It's almost 8:00pm, and luckily for me, today's team lunch was at Claim Jumper, whose servings are large even by the hungriest American's standards, so I haven't had to resort to a vending machine dinner.

I guess it's about time to brave the roads (I'm giving up on the bus and getting a ride with two guys who learned to drive in California... we'll be taking it slow). Needless to say, I don't think I'll be coming to the office tomorrow.

UPDATE 10:45pm: after a quick bite at Red Robin, we finally got back to Capitol Hill... two and a half hours after we left.

Is it like Vancouver there, where a laughable amount of snow (not that the amount you received is that small, I'm just wondering) can cause city-wide panic, Simpsonesque riots and close down the city for days? At times, on the news, I've seen Vancouverites huddling in their homes, not daring to brave the 3cm 'pounding' they had gotten overnight...
