This is only a couple of miles up the freeway from my office. Towards Issaquah.

Ohmygosh, Ramius!! What is it with your weather??
The wind is just howling here...howling like the big windies we usually get in the spring. Even our weather guy said this was unusual windy weather.
Disaster Relief is on standby...bad weather (ice) is expected this weekend and we may be mobilized. I contacted the CDTS (where we've been attending since our old church joined the CCMM) and let them know I'm available. Steve has MLK Day off.
Oklahoma has a history of some really killer ice storms.
That's just amazing. Wow.
Hardly any snow to speak of. Was it a lot of glare ice and folks just got caught in it? That happened to me once when we had our old conversion van. I was heading up a hill, when the lady in front of me got nervous about meeting a bus at the top of the hill coming in the opposite direction. I was yelling "Don't stop!", but she did, and she and I BOTH started sliding backwards down the hill. Fortunately, she stopped before she hit me, but there she and I were, on an incline, and the person behind the bus, saw the incident and slid into a snow bank at the top of the hill before she got into the downward slide. It took us the better part of an hour to get us all out. About 15 minutes after freeing ourselves from the ice, it began to warm up and rain, and the ice all melted away. Figures.
They just showed one of the viewer weather photos I sent in on the news :~)
