HA HA HA HA now I have all the broccoli
In my neck of the woods, we call these “French Toast Emergencies.” Everyone goes out for milk, eggs and bread.
We might all be a bit svelter if our comfort food was broccoli ;)
Seattle winters are generally very mild, with barely any snow. If it does snow, it’s a few inches at most, and it’s gone within a day. Thus, no one bothers with snow tires.
Seattle is hilly as hell. Downtown is on a big slope to the Puget Sound. Which is why getting 18-20 inches would be catastrophic.
Seattle, being right next to the Pacific and the Pineapple Express current of warm water from Hawaii, gets an extremely moist form of snow.
Combine the three, and, yeah, this town will shut the hell down.
Here’s the latest from Cliff Mass. At this point, all the models are converging.
Tenderstem broccoli is totally one of my comfort foods.
I’m more of a cauliflower fella, myself.

Hey we are part of this mess but only sort of, maybe a little.
I’m coming for that broccoli D^3!
So I was heading into the city for some Twilight Imperium tomorrow. Might just take the train. Taking 26 over the Washington Park ridge is, I am sure, going to be a nightmare. Steep grade highway that caps at a little over 1000’. Rain turning to snow (and therefore ice) overnight.
I’m used to driving in that nonsense, though the slope does give me pause, but I have zero faith in my fellow Portlanders.
It’s pretty easy to find videos to remind you why that lack of faith is valid.
Swiggety swoccoli, they’re comin’ for my broccoli!
Ha, yup. Seen that one before.
If it pans out as forecasted, definitely taking the train.
Stockpile Broccoli?
2000 feet of snow? How will you ever survive.
Tunnels. Shore them up with frozen broccoli.
If during the times of disaster y northern brothers and sisters decided that the best course of action is to stockpile broccoli, I’m thinking I might be able to afford a house near Portland or Seattle after all of them waste away to nothing.
it works for both broccoli and protein
The snow has arrived in Seattle, moving northwards
Watch it here. Pull up a chair and grab a bowl of broccoli.
