Neighborhood News and Local Blog Roundup: Snowmageddon 2008--Round One

"It's Snowing!!!!" by Seattlest Flickr Photographer Danny Ngan

There is one topic and one topic only dominating neighborhood blogs in Seattle this weekend, and that is...2 inches of snow! That's right, NYC and the Midwest, laugh all you want, but 2 inches of snow is big news and big excitement around these parts. So, we are pleased to present you snow-related updates from all your favorite local blogs.

• West Seattle Blog blogged the living hell out of the snow, ice, and winter weather this weekend. WSB had not one, not two, but seven updates on the weather yesterday alone.
• Capitol Hill Seattle was slightly less obsessive about their snow coverage, but nonetheless incredibly useful. CHS offers advice for how to get off the Hill this morning for work and news on emergency shelters opened to deal with the cold snap.
• Central District News warned us all about the slick neighborhood slopes before the snow hit, complete with a handy map--and then they posted video proof of cars not heeding their advice.
• Oh my goodness, it snowed in Ballard too!
• Beacon Hill Blog continued their look at holiday lights around the neighborhood, noting that holiday lights look much prettier in snow. They also featured photos of a smiling snowman, who should be an iceman or black ice slick by this morning.
• The Magnolia Voice included the requisite photos of neighborhood snow, but also included a list helpful to Seattle residents both on and off Magnolia: how to protect your pipes in this coming cold streak.
• The Big Blog calls this storm the Snowpocalypse, but we're sticking with Snowmageddon.
• Even Vintage Seattle featured a snow-related post, sharing a postcard of the Seattle storm of 1916.
