Posted 5/18/2012 1:34pm Updated 5/18/2012: 9:05pm – Today, workers began assembling the wheel portion of the new Seattle Ferris Wheel. It was the first opportunity I got (or anyone got, really) to see the size of the wheel against the backdrop of Downtown Seattle, and I am happy to report that it doesn’t look as out of place as I had feared that it...

I woke up this morning to light snow. About an hour later, the snow changed to rain. At around mid-day, the sun came out. Shortly after 2pm, it began to hail. Hard. At about 5pm, skies once again cleared. Now, it’s 7:15pm, and it’s snowing. Hard. No, no, wait … it’s over now. The skies are clearing again. It’s 7:17pm. This is...

I just got off the 520 Bridge, and I have to tell you, it may be time for a change of underwear. The wind was blowing me all over the road, and I clearly wasn’t the only one since traffic on the bridge voluntarily slowed to about 30Mph.

Yes, the blizzard. Look, if uber-legitimate, accountable corporate media is allowed to sensationalize, then why can’t I? I just headed over to Westlake Park to see how accurate my snow prediction was, and low and behold, I wasn’t far off. Yesterday, I put my hypothetical money on 1.89″ of snow, and when I measured at 2:15 this afternoon (just...

On Monday, I waited for snow. Every two hours, they promised that it was only a couple of hours away, and because of that, I called it an early day. That snow never arrived. On Tuesday, I waited for snow. We were supposed to get 2″ – 7″, but by mid-day, I was staring up at the sun. Today, Wednesday, the broken clock that is Seattle...

More photos of the Seattle Snow: http://www.seattlerex.com/live-seattle-snow-photos-january-19-2012/ Since it only happens once or twice each year, snow in Seattle is a big deal. Twenty minutes ago (about 11am on Sunday, January 15th), it started snowing pretty hard in Downtown Seattle, and it’s been forecast to c ontinue off and on for the better part of...
