The mail still came through the sleet and snow, and cheerfully–

even though none of the side streets were plowed today:

Folks were driving on Island Crest Way when I took a walk this afternoon. It had been plowed but covered again in snow:

The buses were out too, as were the police, and some Mercer Island plows.

There were lots of people walking around Mercerdale enjoying the snow,

at least one intrepid biker,

and a passel of people boarding, sledding and skiing at Homestead Park.

I wasn’t crazy enough to go into work today, as 520 was closed and there were accidents everywhere. Did you go, and if so how was it? Anyone do anything fun at home?
I haven’t left the house since Wednesday (when the Big One was supposed to hit, but didn’t).
I notice that Youtube has a lot of videos of bored Mercer Islanders taking pictures in the snow. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=mercerisland&search_sort=video_date_uploaded
