So you're not really into the whole humility thing, huh? That's cool.

I bow to your incandescent perfection

Kirkland has a nice little downtown area with some personality. I didn’t realize that until I was there for the day a few years ago.

But it wasn't helpful. You tried to correct me, but you were wrong not I. And the DOT has nothing to do with the question at hand.

Thanks for trying, I guess.

Enjoy. I graduated from HSU, oh sorry Cal Poly Humboldt. (Stupid name)

Save the Gorda Plate!

If you're going to worry about shit, you should probably try to understand it a little bit better than this.

Gee sorry for trying to be helpful

Nah. Different fault lines.

Very excited to go spend Christmas 40m from the epicenter of the Cali one though 🫠

It absolutely needs a fine & laws as well as enforcement. If it were, maybe situations like this could be avoided. My husband and I don’t drive in snow, at all. Two years ago his job said if you don’t come in you are fired. My son also works at the same place. This is a man who does not call out and arranges days off with PTO months ahead of time. They ended up getting stuck on the I-5 for 8 hours with several other people, including his boss. We keep an emergency kit in the car. Blankets, water, food, hand warmers and candles. Neither one got fired. They do both work at different shops now after that incident. I have seen Mount Jimeny in MA state require employees to come to work even when their governor declares a state of emergency declaring no one on the road. The do not provide their employees accommodations if the get stuck on the mountain. It’s a $1000 fine there. Laws like this could protect more then just your average driver!

Nope, that's the department of transportation, highways. Not DMV. If you're going to try to pull a 'gottcha' at least cite the correct analogous department. dol.wa.gov.

Sorry, I thought you were OP. Must be a case of late night Reddit syndrome.

Couple of reasons. First, hoar crystals growing on surfaces in subzero temps, glorious in the morning sunlight but with the structure of sandpaper. Also, much of your glide comes from tiny amounts of solid water changing phase under pressure as the ski transfers your bodyweight onto the snow, and at colder temperatures your skiing enjoys less of that.

I moved away about 5 years ago

When did you move away?

Bellevue is basically the same type of place it was 30 years ago (suburb for Microsoft employees etc) but with more people now.

Palouse falls if you end up taking I90!!

A lil bit out of your way but it's one of those one of a kind things you gotta see at least once!

Shooting targets, they're an invasive species Debra...! Relax I am doing the environment a favor.

I'm good with that too. Save the idiots from themselves.

don't even need chains or cables. in 2022 there's no excuse: https://www.wsp.wa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Alternative-Traction-devices-April-1024x626.png

Especially if you like traffic, you’ll be in heaven.

Thank you! It was such a stunning photo. It was really an honor to paint it!

You could always do what Wyoming does..,

As a CDL trucker when Wyoming closes i80 due to weather and you keep going, it's a felony depending on how much damage or how long you kept the road closed.

It's really dangerous not just for you who is crashing, but rescue services from the tow truck drivers to the police making sure people don't crash into them while they work.

So charge people upwards of whatever it is now (read a while ago maximum fines were $10,000 and 30 days in jail)

It's lovely! Great work.

Here’s the fabulous original photo posted by u/bearsandstairs ! I don’t think I did the moody blue light justice but it was fun to try!
