Seattle has had some snow days this week, schools closed, businesses follow the schools lead. The snow is light by most standards, but in Seattle, a city of many steep hills, thats all it takes. The kids have been having a blast and the neighborhood coffee houses have been full all day long.

If you are interested in the flooding in the Midwest read the latest post at Mammoth six dams and six reservoirs. We can expect more flooding across the country as snow packs melt.
