[Leica] IMG: It was a dark and stormy night...

Thanks, George and Richard.

George:  The problem here is that as "Moscow Does Not Believe In Tears," 
Seattle Does Not Believe In Snowplows. We only have enough to clear the 
freeway and some major arterials.  For the other arterials, you get sand 
trucks.  For the residential areas, it's strictly laissez-faire.

 From a money standpoint, it makes sense, as we usually only get a few 
light snowfalls per year here.  And it usually melts in a couple of 
days.  But when we really get it, the whole place shuts down--with the 
exception of my employer, usually.  :-)

I was really captivated by the beauty of the swirling snow.  Ask me about 
it tomorrow if I have to get to work.
