Snow links

Because everyone's talking about it! Over twitter, I'm reading about ice on the side streets in the North End. Outside our place downtown, there doesn't seem to be a lot of snow on the road, but I can't tell if there's ice or not.

But it does look pretty! Here's the fogged in mountain:

And here are the snow links, your one stop shop for snow information '08 (can you tell I like the snow). I'll add more if I see any throughout the day.

• The Tribune has some forecasting, which shows highs at the freezing mark for the next day or two.
• Tacoma Mama calls out some sledding hills, assuming there's enough snow.
• Don't forget it's the "Snowbound" event at TAM today, too, from 12 - 5. There will be snow inside and outside the museum.
• In Seattle, where there's more snow than our dusting, the West Seattle Blog has some pictures and info. I also really liked this Google Map widget on Central District News that shows how difficult Seattle hills will be with ice on them--rated like a ski slope--green is easy, blue is medium, black is hard. Very clever use of technology and easy to read.
  
• And there are actually flakes falling on the screen of Tacoma Home.

Happy snow day!

3:45 PM UPDATE: Snow's started again in downtown Tacoma, but I haven't heard where else flakes might be falling. But Weather.com's radar map shows light snow across Pierce County.

And in other wonderful snow news, here's the Tribune's photos of Opening Day at Crystal Mountain.

4:12 PM UPDATE: Light flakes have turned into a real snowstorm downtown! Whoo hoo!
