My first attempt to leave home. A lot of snow. |
My first attempt to leave home. Snowing. |
520 freeway entrance was closed. |
...so I turned on West Lake Sammamish Parkway trying to get to Bellevue. At this moment, it started snowing like crazy. |
Soon it became worse |
...and finally, I just could not see anything. At his moment, I just U-turned right on the road and went back. |
In 1.5 hours, I repeated my attempt. Again, this image is taken from a moving car by a small camera, so the quality is rather poor. You can see here a big truck gone off way apparently while trying to climb uphill from the intersection of BelRed and 40th NE. |
On BelRed. The last photo in this album by a small camera. |
Yes, kids are the only people who have most fun in all this snow ;) |
A bus which apparently did not make it uphill to 520. |
51th street blocked from West Lake Sammamish Parkway. |
Finally, I've reached the top of the hill! |
At Microsoft. I barely found *any* kind of parking there. And even as I took this slot, somebody came to me saying they've just helped to push someone else from this place a few minutes ago. But I said them that I have a shovel "and everything" and went on for photos :) |

At some moment, barely visible sun appeared on a murky sky... |
A view down the 24th. |
Yes, that much snow was there! |
One more bus that did not make it... |

Here I am... kind of a poor auto-portrait, but I don't really care :) |

As I was walking, new clouds started emerging... I figured I don't want to wait for another snowfall and took off home. Too late: the've closed BelRed, so I had to go around via 148th and 908th. |
This it what happens to the fountain on the frost. |
