Here's an airport diagram with 34L being on the west side of the field. This might also be something as silly as the lights being covered on the taxiway and the guy taxiing into the infield and getting stuck.

Nothing more yet, just announced by Shep....
All due to global warming, no doubt.
Dynasty is the call sign for CHINA AIRLINES, folks...
Paging George Kennedy.
Seems early, but thinking back I can recall a couple of much larger winter storms on or before Thanksgiving. Generally we’ll get snow a couple of times and it’ll last 2 or 3 days. But this has been a very odd weather year. Wet cool summer and warm sunny fall. About a two weeks ago we had the hottest November day on record - and now it’s snowing - go figure.
3 hours to the west? Are you out in the ocean?
Or do you just have a really crappy car?
Science News: “Global Warming Could Cool Down Northern Temperatures in Winter.” They’ll blame this one on that also. In the NE, we should welcome GW. But the kind mankind should fear the one to come: Rv. 16:8,9.
LoL!

China Airlines?
“SPRASH!!”
Touchdown!
Probably a great airplane flier; just can’t drive one wortha $h!t. Uphill, 15 to 22 on the nose, vis ain’t close to mins...can’t wait to hear the CVR! ;-{>
LOL..... Close, I live in outside of Port Angeles, Wa. It looks close on the map, but it’s around a 2 1/2 hour drive and about 40 minutes on a ferry. I can cut about 30 minutes off of that by going another route, but the drive sucks.
did you see this from your yacht?
CVR:
Oh Slit!
You Flucked Up!
Do you have three inches or three feet of snow on your roof? You said 3’
SEATAC, Wash. — A Boeing 747 freighter overshot its designated stopping point on a runway after landing at Sea-Tac Airport on Monday afternoon, an airport representative told KIRO 7 Eyewitness News.
The China Airlines plane with two or three people aboard was too close to the runway's end to make a turn after stopping, so a tug has to push the plane backward, said Terri-Ann Betancourt.
The plane went beyond a painted line on the runway but did not go off the pavement, Betancourt said.
It was a “driving” and not an in-flight problem, Betancourt said, adding that there were no injuries and no damage as a result of the incident.
Sea-Tac’s runaways are open for traffic
Why would they land a 747 on the shortest runway especially when it could be slick?
FOR EVERYONE:
Sattle/Tacoma/Everett area is pretty much in total, complete gridlock. ALL freeways are shot, many major side roads are also locked up.
People are having big problems getting to the airport. One caller to a local news/talk station said he saw people walking up the road close to the airport with their luggage...in a driving snowstorm...just so they could get to the terminal.
I read the current NOTAMs for SEATAC and they are supposed to be rotating the runways for snow removal. They are reporting 1/4 inch of snow after the snow is removed. I’ve seen a lot worse around this area.
