MEGASTORM 2012

So we are in the middle of a full blown media crisis. It is snowing. In Seattle. In winter.
.
There is live coverage on The Weather Channel. That buff reporter they send to hurricanes is standing at the bottom Queen Anne Hill mispronouncing things. Apparently all 4 inches of snow  also warrants a front page mention on the BBC web site.
.
This is so embarrassing.
.
I am working from home as the entire city is shut down. Seriously. They closed my building. Busses are not running. All the hybrid taxi cabs are spinning out. Garbage collection is cancelled. They have let all the horrible children out of school. 
.
I was at the store yesterday stocking up on supplies lest I am housebound for a week and all the bottles of kombucha and the gluten free crackers had been pillaged! It’s the end of the world.
.
My hummingbirds seem OK. I’ve had to clear some snow off their feeders, but this does not seem like a HUMMINGBIRD EMERGENCY even though it’s only 28 degrees outside.
.

.OK, back to work now.
