This is why we love living on Capitol Hill: Around ten o'clock last night, after being snowbound for most of the day and itching with cabin fever, we ventured out, following the sound of loud voices, and found a spontaneous snow party at the intersection of Denny Way and Bellevue Avenue East, where the steep, icy slope leading down to the closed overpass had turned into an awesome sledding slope.

We're loving the renegade street closures, like this one fashioned from an old wooden chair. Bad ice last night on Queen Anne meant pretty decent ghetto-sledding. We scavenged some cardboard, and later, plastic sheeting from a construction site and set out to create a smooth, slick run in the powdery snow.

Other blogs' editors probably don't volunteer to get on one of those round, can't-steer-'em sleds and head down the steepest part of East Aloha on Capitol Hill. Well, except for CHS's Justin, who starts out just ahead of us, to the right and then laughs at our woefully second-place finish. It's a dizzying ride. Hope you enjoy it.
