Snow or no snow: Now they say maybe Monday

We’re not taking much stock in the forecasts any more either, but if you’re keeping track, next rumored chance is tomorrow night. P.S. Tomorrow is a day off for many local students anyway, even without snow; it’s the Seattle Public Schools “day between semesters.”

    My daughter looked at me Friday and said…it’s not going to snow…at all…and so far, she’s more right than they are – lol…so I’m not holding my breath :)

    Jan, she could take Steve Poole or Jeff Renner’s place. ;-)

    I met Jeff Renner while still a teenager (coming up on 20 years ago)….he said he always bets against himself in the office weather pool!

    This, I’m sure, was plainly pre-cautionary humor to defuse any angry rants that may come his way!

    Oh, and he’s a very short man….probably in the neighborhood of 5’5″!

    Coming from 509 across Roxbury to 35th at about 8pm, I saw some fat, fluffy flakes floating down. Who knows what’s going to happen! I’m just thankful I have all wheel drive on my car.l

    When it comes to TV meteorologists, we have to put in a plug for one of the people we truly miss since resigning our previous job, Walter Kelley, who does the 10 pm weather on our ex-station (Q13). Walter has a pretty amazing accuracy rate, especially looking a week or so ahead, and is a genuinely nice, enthusiastic guy, too. Unfortunately he works Sunday-Thursday so we couldn’t check him out on Friday night to see if he was calling for Seattle snow – but we’ll be taking a quick look at 10 pm tonight (provided he’s not on vacation or otherwise off).

    Bit of a dusting as of 5am in the Junction Monday morning.

    How can those little buggers be out of school again? Didn’t they just go back after the extended Christmas (ooops, “Winter”) break, and the MLK holiday last monday? When do they go to school anyway?

    I’m for year round, 5 days a week, 50 weeks a year (with the normal Memorial Day, 4th, Labor day, Thanksgiving holidays). Get ’em educated and prepared to live in the real world!

    Jeff Renner came to my school and did a weather presentation back in 1986. So far as I can tell, the man has not aged since then!

    Right now it looks like the whole neighborhood has been dusted with powdered sugar. Mmm – now I want waffles.

    Although we have not one flake of snow here at Alki, my workplace does, so my boss just told me to take a ‘snow day.’
    Woohoo.

    Eddie, as Seattle Public Schools parents, we’d partly agree with you there, at least WRT the days off during the year. Once they come back from winter break, there’s an awful lot of time off before summer vacation finally arrives in late June – right now, for example, two three-day weekends in a row, then a week of “midwinter break” coming up in 3 weeks, then a week of “spring break” barely a month and a half after that, etc. …

Sorry, comment time is over.
