Day 4 of Seattle Deep Freeze '08

Dear Diary,
We thought the end of the freeze was near when we could make it to the salt mines on Tuesday and Wednesday. The temperatures had warmed up from 19'degrees to 36'. Then Wednesday night the snow was back and Thursday morning we had another 2 inches before the sun came up. My family and I were worried about where we would find our food since we were almost out of bullets for Ol'Besty and there were no new deer tracks in the fresh snow. Don't worry as you see in picture (1) the great hunter was able to provide for his family finding food and drink at the local grocery store just a mile away. Now we just have to dig in and keep the heat on, watch a movie or two tonight, and play on the computer. I think we might be able to make it, but it will be tough. I know it will be tough, because Seattle isn't prepared for snow like other regions of the nation like Spokane where they get their roads plowed and salted hourly.
Official snow depth at 4:30 at our house 5 inches per my Black and Decker tape measure.

Seriously, a bit over dramatic don't you think. Honestly, if you are trying to sell West Seattle as the place to live in, you better work on your sales pitch. It sounds dreadful out there.
