It gonna (did) snow!!

Much like another friend last night, I got a call from a friend who needed some help. Seems her bus couldn't make it all the way back into Renton last night due to a nasty snow and ice storm. From the news reports, for some people it turned their 30 minute commute into a multi-hour nightmare. So she and I met up near my office and I took her back to my house where she stayed the night. In addition, I picked up another friend of mine at her apartment and she came and visited. By the time it would've been time for her to head home, the ice had started forming and I was not feeling too comfortable with going down the long, steep hill to her place. She stayed the night, too.

At about 2pm today, I left the house to take both of them home. In addition, I picked up my ex-girlfriend and took her into SeaTac. So I was playing chauffeur for a few hours, on many patches of ice. Fun stuff.

I can see why a bus couldn't do much for making it into Renton - the roads were just coated in compact snow and ice. Luckily, they'd been sanded, which improved traction a bit, but overall they were very messy.

Needless to say, I didn't make it to work today. And I'm going to try my darnedest to make to work tomorrow as I've got some stuff going on there that requires my attendance.

Please let my commute go smoothly tomorrow :-|
