Day 2 - Seattle Blizzard 2006 - Revenge of the Commuters
Chilled Seattle commuters faced their second day of winter hell today,
as an additional ¼ inch of the peculiar white stuff fell, bringing the
region to its knees and causing millions of dollars worth of
damage. Scientists suspect that the substance is some form of frozen water particles and experts from Wisconsin are being flown in.
With temperatures dipping to the almost but not quite 32°,
Seattleites were warned to double insulate their lattes before
venturing out.
Seattle police recommended that people stay inside except for
emergencies, such as running out of espresso or biscotti to see them
through Seattle's most terrible storm to date. The local Les Schwab
reported that they had completely sold out of fur-lined sandals.
Drivers were cautioned to put their convertible tops up, and several
have been shocked to learn that their SUV's actually have four wheel drive,
although most have no idea how to use it.
Weary commuters faced soggy sushi, and the threat of frozen breast
implants. Although Dr. John Blatherwick, of the Public Health Service
reassured everyone that most breast implants were perfectly safe to 25
below, down-filled bras are flying off the shelves at REI.
"The government has to do something," snarled an angry Trevor
Warburton. "I didn't pay $540,000 for my one bedroom condo so I could sit around and be treated like someone from Minneapolis."
