So this is why I went beserk restocking the pantry yesterday. We'll have to see if this is a reliable barometer of our 'major' snowstorms:

...SNOW ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 11 PM THIS EVENING TO 7 AM PST TUESDAY...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN SEATTLE HAS ISSUED A SNOW ADVISORY...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM 11 PM THIS EVENING TO 7 AM PST TUESDAY.

SNOWFALL TOTALS OF UP TO 2 INCHES ARE EXPECTED FROM LATE THIS EVENING THROUGH EARLY TUESDAY MORNING. THE LIGHTEST AMOUNTS WILL OCCUR TO THE SOUTH AND EAST NEAR PUYALLUP...WHILE THE HEAVIER AMOUNTS AROUND 2 INCHES ARE EXPECTED CLOSER TO PUGET SOUND AND NORTH OF SEATTLE. SNOW WILL CHANGE TO RAIN DURING THE MORNING RUSH HOUR.

A SNOW ADVISORY MEANS THAT PERIODS OF SNOW WILL CAUSE MAINLY TRAVEL DIFFICULTIES. BE PREPARED FOR SNOW COVERED ROADS AND LIMITED VISIBILITIES...AND USE CAUTION WHILE DRIVING.

This basically means I telecommute in the morning. No big thing. (Either that, or automotive sledding on Denny!)

It'll forever amuse me that a wimpy 2" of snow causes such a ruckus and weather forecast alerts in this city :)
