As of now (about 5:30 p.m. Seattle time), the temperature is 33^o F. (barely 1^o C.). It snowed a bit last night, starting around evening commute time. Television showed long lines of slowly-moving or non-moving autos on freeways and arterials under snow flurries.

Right now, evening commute time is under way, but I haven't turned the evening news on yet. Earlier news predicted that the currently wet roadways could turn icy if the temperature dropped a degree or two, which it is wont to do. Great weather for body and fender shops.

Barbara and I are hunkered down and we might watch a movie tonight (we subscribe to NetFlix. Just got "Casablanca"—seen it a dozen times or more, but it's a classic, of course—and "Rob Roy" with Liam Neeson. Saw that too, but I want to see it again).

Stay warm.
