For true Seattleites, snow is anything but easy or routine. Even the talk of that wintry precipitation sparks school closures, office closings, and a general state of panic around the city. Now I would never go so far as to call this activity ‘wimpish,’but it does have to be said that almost every other city in America with snow laughs like little schoolgirls when they hear about the Puget Sound having trouble handling a few inches of the white stuff.
So with the wintry mix in the area over the past few days and snow in the forecast for this evening, we wanted to share with you our 10 favorite YouTube clips of snowstorms in Seattle. I promise you’ll laugh, cry, and probably consider not driving the next time snow falls from the sky.
