Umm.... we are getting large amounts of snow... so before you get your Eastern "ohhh look at how much snow we get dont complain" you have to realize that In seattle the elevation goes up from 0 to 500 feet in less than a mile before going back down to 150 feet and then to 300. Its very hilly in Seattle, resulting in icy hills which no one can drive up or down. Plus were forecasted to get 4-8 inches of snow and about 6 inches on Sat-sun. 

yet.... we get a 2 hour delay again even though there isnt to much snow left on the road ways 

You've obviously never driven on the Saw Mill River Parkway. It's hilly AND curvy.

Does the elevation go up from 0 to 500 to 300 to 400 in 1 mile? 

Well they cancelled school today.... and I'll we've seen is snow melt..... as the snow has been delayed because we got a Rain/Snow shadow. However they still said 2-5 inches for this evening 

Yes, Seattlelites are pathetic, but the highest point in Seattle is like 650 feet high. Seattle is quite small, yet it can be snowing, raining, hailing, sunny, windy, cloudy, and foggy all at the same time in the city.....

I'm sure someone from Denver/Minneapolis/Northern Canada will come along and say that they have it the worst, to which I have to say I agree.

We have tons of snow in Texas.. It just melts before it falls... >.>

[Seattle]

6.5 inches today, some places got up to 23 inches and alot of places got over a foot.... so even though everything was delayed... we got more than expected... now theres abot 3 inches of solid ice with another 2 inches of snow on the road..... I live on a hill that goes up from sea level to 400 feet over 8 blocks 

school was cancelled today and is already cancelled for tomorrow as the high for tmrw is 26 and the low is 11!!!

We Denver-ites like to say how awful it is just to keep all you riff-raff away.

Snow rarely sticks around. We get 300 days of sunshine a year. And you can choose to go golfing or skiing (or both!) almost any day between October and June.

But seriously, Denver is cold and snowy. And cold. Really cold. And really snowy. Stay away.
