Seattle wants me dead.

Well, the weather outside is frightful...

...okay, yeah, that's about where it stops right now. Seriously. The snow in the front yard is up to mid-calf on me, and it is now snowing again. Huge, horrible flakes of white are pelting down on the world outside the window, getting thicker and heavier all the time. The weather forecast says that it's raining right now. Look, people. I'm from California, and even I can tell that THIS IS NOT RAIN, OKAY?!

So far, I've missed attending a Christmas party (due to frozen slush blocking access to the roads), and failed to convince Vixy to take me to buy groceries (due to frozen slush getting covered under a blanket of new-fallen snow). We are now seriously discussing the functionality of getting to Portland tomorrow. Perhaps what the weather does not understand is that if it tries to keep me from Voodoo Doughnut, I will cause it pain.

(Seriously, Persephone, I realize that you're having fantastic 'I just got home after six months of living with my mother oh my God that woman needs Prozac' sex with Hades all over the over Underworld, but you need to cut this shit out. If there's one more blizzard, I'm sending him a copy of Busty Chinese Moon Goddesses monthly and spiking your coffee with sleeping pills.)

The snow is falling even harder now, and is threatening to cancel tonight's rehearsal. Do not want. If you hear reports that the rest of my books are being ghost-written by Lilly, it's because I froze to death in Seattle. LAND OF SNOW.

Chicagoland is getting Seattle's rain right now. Trade ya.

Deal. The swap is on.

My profound sympathy is slightly adulterated by the fact that I can't stop laughing at your inventive threats to Persephone.

They seem to have stopped; the snow is gone.

I shall give you a call at some point, perhaps there is potential for rescue.

seanan_mcguire

December 31 2008, 03:12:33 UTC 8 years ago

You have called! And I am waiting for the rest of my entourage to return, that we might check times. Or you're welcome to come over. We have lots of DDP.

You should stick around until New Years' Eve and go to the party with Vixy. That way I could, or might be able, to meet you. (Depends on childcare at home...)

I mean, I know that's totally inconvenient for *you*, but for *me* it would be awesome.

seanan_mcguire

December 31 2008, 03:13:32 UTC 8 years ago

I am, in fact, going to be at the New Year's Eve party! Yay!

::sputter cough choke::

I should *know* better than the drink anything when reading your posts, but I didn't even know they published Busty Chinese Moon Goddesses any more. *G*

It has a small but dedicated audience.

I hope for vixy's sake that you have DDP and food laid in. Or failing that, snowshoes.

Here's wishing you some better weather.

seanan_mcguire

December 31 2008, 03:14:27 UTC 8 years ago

They laid in DDP. Because they are not dumb.

We are not amused, Seattle. NOT AMUSED.

Much, much sympathy. Accompanied by, I confess, some giggles because you can make even this sound funny. Aggravating, but funny.

I really hope the weather lets up on you a bit, though. *sighs*

seanan_mcguire

December 31 2008, 03:14:52 UTC 8 years ago

Thankfully, the snow has stopped. Or someone would, in fact, have died.

I really missed you last night. Much sadness ensued at your text messages of woe. I suppose I can't blame your driver (cause, you know, snow and you like him and you'd probably take exception to me being mean to him so, you know, I won't but I'll think about it because you were supposed to be my surprise Christmas gift and when one doesn't get a Seanan-surprise gift, you don't know what could happen but I am the forgiving sort. Sometimes.).

I hope I can see you while you're up here. I've missed you lots and lots.

seanan_mcguire

December 31 2008, 03:15:07 UTC 8 years ago

I'm so glad I got to see you! <3

December 26 2008, 23:22:54 UTC 8 years ago

I was looking at the weather reports and wondering how visit to Seattle was going. Obviously, you're not inspired by the wonders of a white Christmas.

seanan_mcguire

December 31 2008, 03:15:24 UTC 8 years ago

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

I am not.

I'm in Vancouver, and it's even worse up here.

We've had more snow this month than we've had in any given year since 1971.

I've missed a week of work because of this now, and right after christmas is NOT the time to be missing work.

I like snow, and that still sounds like too much snow...

seanan_mcguire

December 31 2008, 04:50:42 UTC 8 years ago

Yeah, the amount of snow we received was very much beyond what was desired.

We are VERY CAREFULLY monitoring the Seattle weather in anticipation of travel to ConFlikt. I -like- driving in winter, but I don't think I can rent a snowplow at Sea-Tac.

seanan_mcguire

December 31 2008, 04:51:04 UTC 8 years ago

Things have definitely warmed up, and I anticipate you managing things just fine.

December 27 2008, 02:15:22 UTC 8 years ago

now... Portland is just beginning to melt out of it's particular snowy hell... so once you're on the road it might be ok.

seanan_mcguire

December 31 2008, 04:51:32 UTC 8 years ago

I'm so glad things are melting down to what I regard as 'normal.'

Seriously, Persephone, I realize that you're having fantastic 'I just got home after six months of living with my mother oh my God that woman needs Prozac' sex with Hades all over the over Underworld, but you need to cut this shit out. If there's one more blizzard, I'm sending him a copy of Busty Chinese Moon Goddesses monthly and spiking your coffee with sleeping pills.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

seanan_mcguire

Seriously, she needs to not go that enthusiastically for the getting laid.

I'd never thought of winter as being caused by rampant horny sex before... thanks for that mental image.

Of course, it's summer here and that screws up the whole theory. :/

seanan_mcguire

December 31 2008, 04:52:27 UTC 8 years ago

You're welcome.

And dude, you're connected to a different mythological network. I'm sure somebody's getting laid when the snow comes down.

This means that right now no less than three people I love are suffering from the Seattle Ice Age. ::hugs:: Hope you can escape the nasty weather ASAP.
