Here's your warning: all the weather nerds are predicting a "large snow event" starting Tuesday night and continuing into Wednesday and Thursday. We could see anywhere from 6 - 12 inches here in Seattle (and 3 to 4 feet in the mountains) without an immediate meltoff. So: do what you need to do, get what you need to get, and hunker down. Please don't drive unless you know what you're doing (and even then...) Even the busses will be crippled. Guaranteed…
Due to concerns about hazardous road conditions, all schools will start two hours late. Buses will operate on snow routes, and there will be no door-to-door service.

And, it advises bus riders to be aware it will operate with a reduced weekday schedule as planned for the Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday on Monday, Jan. 16. Sadly, they will be using the regular buses, not any like the one below.
We got a call this morning from our neighbor Jenny (who, we are told, has neither a computer nor much interest in this whole "Internet" thing) letting us know she spotted a black rabbit hopping across her yard last night. Since they don't tend to make it wild out this way, she wondered whether it had gone missing from someone who hadn't intended it to hop off. She didn't collect it, but if you're missing one, you may want to check…
