Record snowfall hit Seattle today. Reg and I ran over to Issaquah real quicklike to drop off the Volvo and grab the Mercedes SUV. Four Wheel Drive For The Win. Seattle - well, Bellevue really - is in a "convergence zone" and 6 inches fell the other day whereas only 3 fell here. Anyway I've started using "convergence zone" as a euphemism for awful clusterfuck situations. It was, for example, convenient to use the term while driving. "Look out Reg, convergence zone of IDIOTS up ahead" for a traffic jam or whatever.
So we drove around a lot, from Issaquah home, from home to Northgate- which was utter hell, took us 45 minutes to go 6 miles or so. The snow had started to fall and people went crazy. I mean, you can GO OVER 25MPH ok. We went back via UDistrict, and it took 20 minutes. The other factor of course was the holiday shoppers. I keep forgetting, it's Xmas soon. Anyway, we came home and showered and then went over to hang with Jeremy. We headed up to 15th to see what WAS in fact open, and settled on Hopvine. Had tasty hummus plate and then![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
thingstouchme and calmkelp joined us. I like those kids. (Fun fact: I met Travis on Friendster! I MADE A FRIEND MAN.)
After we finished we headed to Chapel to meet Chris and Kate. The Santas were there - Santarchy was this Saturday in Seattle - and we had to go through a parcel of them to get to the bar. Unfortunately this was b/c they were leaving, so about 20 minutes after arriving, the bar was kinda dead. Still, they have excellent cocktails, and we enjoyed them for a time before rejoining the Santas over at Cha Cha. Saw Ang, ChrisMD, Jack, Sean... good times. Except I got a terrible headache so I couldn't really drink. We took photobooth photo that was utterly awful, I'll scan it in later.
We then stuffed almost all of these people into the SUV and went back to Jeremy's. My headache was super bad so I just napped upstairs for a while. Sherah joined me at some point and we snuggled under the covers, chatting and petting the kitty. I told her the story of how Reg and I started dating, and then Reg came up. It was all "awww" and shit. I was feeling better so I went downstairs and attempted to snuggle Ang for a while as she talked about Enemy of the State. Reg was feeling a bit crappy, and it was nearly 4am, so we decided to head out. Dropped Travis and Sherah off at their place - nice little drive down Belmont and Boylston in the FOOT OF SNOW. Then the drive home, apparently our I5 exit was "closed" (not plowed) but we got through it.
SERIOUSLY driving with Reg in the SUV in these conditions is SO FUN. And Seattle is SO beautiful all covered in snow, especially Woodland Park. Eastside, also pretty, snow snow snow. I am totally going to grab my skis and hike up a hill later.
