Everyone told me that it doesn't snow in the Seattle area. Seems like that must be a snipe hunt for newcomers, as I'm stuck in (yet another) airport due to snow.

After I finally made it out of British Columbia (where it does snow, but not usually THIS much in November), I arrive at SeaTac (Seattle's airport) to find...snow and below freezing temperatures!!!

At the moment pictured, I'm tired, vaguely grimy (from travel), and faced with a massive line for the "Express" shuttle. Since the line is in a "covered" outdoor area, I ran back to the terminal and picked up a hat (shown).

Four hours later...I finally made it to Bellevue. As the trip from Seatac to Bellevue usually takes about 30 minutes (maximum), you can imagine the road condition. I think our high speed was 5 miles per hour (mostly due to a small skid on the ice).

Here is a picture from the snowy drive to the airport (through BC). It shows logs floating in Lake Okanagon that will be collected for shipping, but are temporarily covered with a layer snow. Pretty neat, I thought.

Hope you're all staying warm and dry!
