 Looks like the Seattle metro can expect 8-12" of snow by Thursday.

Or, if you prefer the National Weather Service:

    Wait does that mean ANOTHER 8-12"? Or are they counting what's already happened?

    I have interviews on Thursday ... I hope stuff starts melting by then!

    It's times like this that I really dislike working from home.  I don't get a snow day unless the power goes out!!  Maybe I'll be "sick" on Wednesday......

    I am not excited about it, I cannot drive in it at all. The hubs has snow tires but works in a totally different direction!

    I do not look forward to Wednesday. I'm hoping I can convince my boss to close the store but I am not optimistic. The mall is still going to be open and it's also new comic book day. But I don't want to drive down the hill by my house!!! :stamps foot and whines::

    This tool on the NOAA website is really cool/helpful:

    http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=47.61030&lon=-122.33400&unit=0&lg=english&FcstType=graphical 
    (this is for 98101)

    To find your area go here
    http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=47.61030&lon=-122.33400&unit=0&lg=english&FcstType=graphical

    Then type in your zipcode or click on the map (can zoom first).  Then find on the bottom right "hourly weather graph" and click on it.

    That's what I was just telling one of the ladies here at work. I'm a skeptic when it comes to Seattle-area forecasts. Our convergence zone throws too many variables in to the mix.

    I don't get snow days anymore since I live 2 1/2 miles from work. *sigh*

    does your job really not allow snow days because you live close?or you just won't take one because you can walk there?? it seems that a business wouldn't be able to tell you that since you live close, you can't have a snow day.. just wondering. :)

    If I called and said I absolutely could not come in, I think they would deal with it. But because I live so close, I can always have dh drop me off and worse case scenerio, I could walk home. Dh has a 4x4 truck with studded tires, so we really have no excuse for not getting around, unless we just worked too far away from each other (which has happened).

    Just because you have a vehicle that can make it and live close - that doesn't mean you should have to go in.

    My pretty 4 wheel drive truck will be sitting in Ballard tomorrow, as will I, if we get the amount of snow we're supposed to.
