I still went running in it though \ud83d\ude09 Pretty stupid but hey&#8230; why the hell not!  As you can see it snowed at my place last night.  Normally I am just south enough of the &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Puget_Sound_Convergence_Zone\" target=\"_blank\">convergence zone<\/a>&#8221; that it doesn&#8217;t hassle me all that much.  Yeah well, not today!  It was falling pretty heavy around 530 when I woke up so that meant a great run this morning.  A run where at one point i was running into the driving snow, so every step was not only drenching my feet, but at the same time having snow smack me in the face \ud83d\ude41  But it only made me a minute or so slower than usual, so I can forgive that at least.<\/p>\n<table style=\"width:auto;\">\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/picasaweb.google.com\/lh\/photo\/MhqM-Tm2z1odMzH5SG0AVNMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=embedwebsite\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/-aeznx_YtZ_4\/UU0I-L4CiKI\/AAAAAAAA_vw\/6XkIZXr9jPk\/s640\/P1030183.JPG\" height=\"480\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right\">From <a href=\"https:\/\/picasaweb.google.com\/109346098513022744611\/SeattleLife2013?authuser=0&#038;feat=embedwebsite\">Seattle Life 2013<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>It was my trip to work that was interesting.  I figured that things were not going to be pretty on the road (they weren&#8217;t to bad) but I left as soon as I could to get my butt to work on time.  So that&#8217;s what I attempted to do, but because I was taking photos of the snow, I missed the bus by 2 minutes.  Damn.  Then I realised I had left half my breakfast behind and since I had at least 15 minutes till the next bus, I&#8217;ll trudge through the snow to Safeway and grab what I need.  <\/p>\n<table style=\"width:auto;\">\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/picasaweb.google.com\/lh\/photo\/S8vBqQUDrNd49DDDci6ewtMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=embedwebsite\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/-XsTz7O9JnL8\/UU0JAg-ON_I\/AAAAAAAA_wY\/M6rdoY3zlCo\/s800\/P1030190.JPG\" height=\"600\" width=\"800\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right\">From <a href=\"https:\/\/picasaweb.google.com\/109346098513022744611\/SeattleLife2013?authuser=0&#038;feat=embedwebsite\">Seattle Life 2013<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>So I did and took a few more photos by the time I got to the next Bus Stop, a bus was meant to show up within minutes.

Over an hour from when I had left home.
