    No, the problem with Seattle is there are too many goddamned hills, so the entire city pretty much shuts down when there's any measurable amount of snow and ice. That, and all the transplanted Californians who don't know how to drive in the shit.

    Olympia usually fares a little better. There's only a couple of streets that usually get closed up under more extreme weather, and neither is a major traffic corridor. And the goddamn snowplows start rolling here when there's more than an inch of snow on the ground. Which is somewhat annoying when you live on or near a main street and the things are making noise all night long.
    I just remember people putting on snow chains and driving 70 down I-90. The chains would come loose and beat the hell out of people's wheel wells. Ice with a skiff of snow and hills. Yup, cars off the road and all four wheels locked up and the car is still going down hill like a hockey puck.

      Winter in Colorado sucks when you get snowed in up at Estes Park and some asshole chops through the bathroom door with a fire axe and yells "Here's Johnny!"

        Ouray averages 22.7 inches of annual precipitation a year. Typically this includes 138 inches of snowfall. With an average of 285 days of sunshine, most days are sunny and bright. Summer highs are rarely above 85 and lows are in the 50's."

        So do fuck off, you borderline asshat.
        There's good off-roading in Ouray.
