I've lived in the Seattle area for over 4 years now, and have never experienced a winter like this one. Storm after storm hit us in November and December, including rain, snow, ice, windstorms, flooding, and prolonged power outages, plus a snow storm that hit last night, and brought traffic in the region to an absolute standstill.
I often wonder what's next, and am glad that I am able to work from home. A winter like this one definitely makes you appreciate the wonders of Mother Nature.
