February 2019 in Seattle

February 2019 in Seattle 

Of course this was the beginning of 6 full weeks of below freezing weather in Seattle, I woke up early the first few days just to sign on to a traffic camera located right at the intersection of our condo building. I watched cars slide down the hill sideways in the early morning before the road salt took affect.

Always keep a SNOWBALL handy.

And if you run out then RUN!

SNOWBALL 100% Fun!

On the advice of Lynn's aunt, Roseann, we got tickets to see Lawrence Brownlee  on the right and Eric Owens a bass  in the middle. Our first time opera experience and we got to see two of the worlds best, another incredible lifetime music event.
Two of today’s most sought-after vocalists join for an unforgettable evening. Bass-baritone Eric Owens has been called an “American marvel” by the Chicago Sun-Times; Lawrence Brownlee has been hailed by the Associated Press as “one of the world’s leading bel canto tenors.”

Along with the record colds and snow we also got a string of Magical sunsets, sadly I did not get a pic of them all. There is one in particular I will regret not going out in the cold to photograph

February was a test for the Western dwellers of Washington State. The unusual winter is reserved for the higher elevations of the Cascades or the Olympics and/or the Eastern parts of the state. Six full weeks of below freezing temperatures and then all of a sudden it was over, it took over a week for all the snow and ice to melt but things in the city quickly returned to normal.The natives are more prepared for next time, they all own a snow shovel now.We survived SNOWMAGEDDEN
