What's behind door number 3? ICE!

Needless to say, we are still at home today. It's been snowing and/or icing all morning. And not just a light mist, either. No further snow accumulations, my left buttock. We've got an ice storm warning going on until 2pm (originally scheduled to end at noon). Mostly it looks the same here except there is a little more white stuff on the ground. Fortunately we haven't got a carport that could cave in, as apparently that's been happening. I do not foresee us going anywhere tomorrow, either. It's supposed to warm up, but we'll see. Right now it looks like a deathtrap disguised as a winter wonderland.

Here's a selection of pictures from around our region. I, obviously, took none of them.

Seatac airport

I-5 corridor

Collapsed carport in Olympia

Icy roads!

I love how it looks like a lake of foamed milk

There will only be more of this ice accumulation as the day goes on

How would it EVER warm up enough to reverse any of that enough for safe travel?? That is insane. Stay in your warm cozy abode :)

Makes one wonder, where all the white goes, once the snow melts ;)

Please have you all a safe road ahead and a good Friday.

Holy crap, darling! I'm so glad that you're still inside being safe! ^^ Some of these pictures look worse than when we get our big storms here... O.O; Please do take care and have a lovely, safe evening, darling! <3 <3 <3 *

What are all those people doing on I5? Stay home, people!

I'm glad you don't have anywhere to be, and that you can stay safely home and warm. I guess the east side has had power outages and such, so at least you still have heat!
