Yet Another Storm

It seems like it has been a very windy winter here in Seattle. Especially the last couple of weeks the wind just doesn't stop. Yesterday another storm hit us. There was a fair amount of rain, but also plenty of wind.

Here's what the radar looked like during the storm:


And this is a traffic camera picture of the 520 bridge over Lake Washington. Normally you don't see all that wave action.


The winds at the time of this photo were averaging 40-50 miles per hour. They ended up closing the bridge overnight because the wild weather caused some minor damage which had to be repaired in order to make the bridge safe for traffic.

This morning many areas had snow. For the most part it didn't stick, it was just enough to let us know it's still winter.

It's March 9th and spring is on its way. I happen to be a fan of all the diverse weather. But for many in Seattle spring can't come soon enough.
