Getting home in the snow

Karen had been wishing for some snow in Seattle for quite some time now, and tonight it all came true…  too true.  By the time I wanted to leave work, the anxiously departing cars were bumper to bumper all the way to P2 of the garage.  The Seattle Traffic site provided good information about travel times:

Travel time to Seattle 66 minutes
Travel time to Bothell 48 minutes
Travel time to Everett 93 minutes

There was only one minor detail missing:
Travel time to freeway: 100 minutes

I went back to my office, only to see a shuttle make its way across the driveway (span of 30 yards) in about one hour.  By then, I decided the best way to get home was… the number 11 bus.  My trusty feet.

Just to give you an idea of the situation:

No, none of those cars were moving.  On the way I encountered some miniature snowmen…

In the end, it took 45 minutes to walk home, but all I can say is…  home sweet home!
