This made me think of the day I moved from CA to IL…70 degrees and wearing shorts to snow and lots of layers.

When I returned from college for the first time over winter break, the minute my plane’s wheels touched down at SeaTac airport it started to snow. It was someday a week or so before Xmas. But it just snowed and snowed and snowed. Absolute nightmare, as the 35 minute ride home from the airport took about 6-7 hours. Too many hills, people sliding everywhere, just abandoning their cars. Since I was coming home from Penn and had my suitcases I had a hat, gloves, and Parka but neither of my parents or anybody on the road had any warm winter stuff. I spent alot of time pushing the car. I vaguely remember stopping by a schucks and getting some cables for the wheels which helped. When we got home my little brother was sitting in the dark, as we had lost power. Anyway, I zoomed in on Seattle Metro and checked out December totals, and sure enough no snow or minimal all of my winters growing up, except for December 1990. I just googled and I guess it all came on December 18th. http://www.komonews.com/home/video/36413989.html?tab=video&c=y
