Neighborhood News and Local Blog Roundup
"The Effects Of Global Warming" by Seattlest Flickr Photographer Jeff Burger
- Cliff Mass Weather Blog has become a very good friend of ours over the past few days--he hasn't failed us like other local weather folk. He says this morning's commute may be worse than yesterday's, due to ice, and we are inclined to believe him...but we sincerely hope he's wrong about "Wednesday's potential storm." For once, we're really not dreaming of a white Christmas.
- We were going to try and post something non-snow-related from West Seattle Blog, but then they had to go and post these unmissable snow sculptures and a brand new West Seattle waterfront condo. Not quite as creepy as their bear with fish in stomach ice sculpture from Thursday, but awesome nonetheless.
- Sable Verity is right where the rest of us are: calling for rescue crews to save us from a serious case of cabin fever.
- The Southlake reported (via battery power we imagine) that the Cascade neighborhood had lost power yesterday afternoon.
- You think this storm is bad? Just check out Seattle Vintage's photos from the great snowstorm of 1916, when 21.5 inches fell in Seattle.
- MyBallard reports that a pet parrot chose the absolute worst time ever to escape. However, the kind Ballardites who found and rescued the bird have nicknamed him 'Frosty the Snowbird.'
