Don is right about Seattle.
Another couple of inches last night
and snowing again this morning
Probably over a foot of snow so far
and the city doesn't believe in using salt
(environmentally bad - makes Puget Sound too salty)
and even though they are supposed to have 7 snow plows
the most anyone has ever seen is just one,
and they use rubber-tipped blades
not to damage the streets (the few that are plowed)
they just compress the snow, and now with thawing temps
(35 deg F) there are hubcap-deep ruts in the ice/snow/slush
Now I remember why I left Minnesota,
but in our small town there
the streets were all plowed, salt and sanded,
in a couple of hours.

Now about those Snow Angels:
the late Johnny Cunningham wrote a tune,
"The Unfortunate Snow Incident"
"A wee wintry four-part jig written
in commemoration of the time a friend tried,
after too much holiday cheer,
to 'write' a yellow Snow Angel
in the cold drifts outside a local pub.
Frostbite can be an ugly thing."

Cheers, S. in Seattle
