WSDOT, KOMO Say Get Ready for the Clusterfuck

We got into work a little early today with the intention of leaving early as well. We remember all too clearly the three-hour drive home we endured last year because of the deadly white stuff. If KOMO News is correct, then we should be seeing snow fall throughout the day here, with the brunt of the attack coming this afternoon, causing hundreds of Seattle area drivers to throw up their hands and senselessly abandon their vehicles on the side of the road. And how is WSDOT preparing? By stocking their massive fleet (ha!) of plows with de-icer and salt/sand mix and by asking us to please not drive like a buncha jagoffs.

Well, at this point I guess we can just send our congrats to KOMO for sussing this out before any of us knew it was going to happen.

They're always on the big stories. Remember how they told you to sell all your WaMu stock 2 years ago?

Oh..yeah.

@3mpire - she's lucky she didn't get sued.

a friend of a friend abandoned her car in the middle of an intersection in that storm and was surprised to find out the next day that she had been the victim of one or possibly more hit and runs.

I think you mean "senselessly abandon their vehicles in the middle of the road". I've never been anywhere but here where people lose traction in the #2 lane of a freeway and decide to get out and walk without even trying to pull over.
