Clearly you know nothing of Seattle and its climate. This just ain't Joisey out here. Our priorities, requirements and necessities are extremely different from Joisey (for all I think Nickels screwed up royally and the stupid city would be better off without him).
That’s like the Southerners laughing at us and our 100-degree heat wave.
NOTE TO REST OF U.S.A.—The Pacific NW is NOT like where you live. It’s a very temperate climate. There is no A/C. There aren’t major snowstorms.
Hell, I remember Raleigh, NC, grinding to a halt for about a full week for 22” of snow. I seem to recall NYC getting temperatures in the high 90s, low 100s not too long ago.
Weird weather can happen anywhere.
That being said, Nickels is a complete anti-Constitution jackass who deserves to live on the streets with all the myriad homeless he purposely does nothing about. Good riddance.
I was stationed at Ft. Lewis for fourteen months back in the ‘60’s, and as I remember it we had one snowfall for a total of two inches the first winter (the rest of the time from September ‘til April it rained, of course) - cars were sliding off the roads all over the place, and in fact one civilian who worked in our clinic was slightly injured when her car went into a ditch because of the horrendous driving conditions - Joiseyians panic too when we get snow, but I’ve never seen the kind of chaos here I saw that year in Seattle - fourteen inches in two weeks should be child’s play.....
Do tell.
