Boy do I hate Seattle with it's weather...

Well Last night I look outside and it seemed like it started to hail...well in about 3 minutes there was at least 1" of hail/snow on the road and it kep on snowing. To make things worse, the temp. went up so that things began to melt and just in time for me to get off work, things began to freeze. Was able to make it all the way to my house with the rear end of the car fishtailing a few times...even at 20mph. Thank god I've driven up to the pass for the last 3 or 4 seasons, so I know how to drive in winter conditions...but ths was the first year with RWD. Well but not the whole drive home went so smoothly...I got stuck on the driveway to my house which is about 20' long with maybe 15-20 degree incline...the car just wouldn't go anywhere. Finally I just took a hose, hooked it up to warm water and sprayed the entire driveway until all the snow/ice was melted and made my way into the garage.
Whats worse is that the snow/ice is expected to melt during th day and then we're expecting 25 degree weather in the evening time again...so here comes ice, and then some more snow/rain tomorrow and below freezing night once again.

I WANT TO MOVE TO HAWAII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here are some pics I took with my phone...
This one I took when it just began snowing:

This is the hill on which I got stuck:

Yay!

Monday morning the snow got too deep on I-5 and my front lip ripped off and took a portion of the front bumper as well. On the way home I stopped and picked it up, snow plow had throw it in the median. Thank goodness for urethane. New bumper cover, slap the lip on with a coat of paint and it will be good as new.

There is no power at work so I grabbed some tools and supplies, so I'm working out of my home this week.

Re: Boy do I hate Seattle with it's weather...

that sucks! I hope I can beat the snow tonight and get home without any problems. Yesterday it was colder in Seattle than in Iceland, Alaska, and Moskow (russia)...that's just not right.

Oh and the rain...it's coming...the 9 months of it. Then its 2 months of sunshine...the only time when I'm happy in this state.
