Winter returns with a vengeance: Seattle to be hit with biggest snow storm in decades

Scoop with your knees, not your back.  Stay warm, Geschies..  The Extinction Protocol.  Excerpts:

The snow into Thursday could end up being one of Seattle’s biggest snowstorms on record. The storm and its heavy snowfall have the potential to close passes in the Cascades, clog streets at sea level with tons of snow and slush and force flight delays and cancellations.
..
The combination of heavy, wet snow with gusty winds in some areas will down trees, taking power lines with them.
..
The heaviest rate of snow will hit Seattle Wednesday, when the snow could come down at an inch-per-hour pace for a time.

Note descriptors "heavy," "wet," not "powder," "dry."  Don't let the projected amounts fool you;  This could be a big, big storm.  Prep time's done; it's almost here.
