2/9/09 Accident on 520 Bridge
So this morning the 520 bridge was closed not once but twice during the height of the morning commute. Much to my surprise the vehicles involved was a Metro bus and sadly a Black Mazda RX8. Hopefully no one we know was involved because I saw the RX8 at the west end of the bridge and it was not in good shape.
Hopefully if it was someone we know on here they are ok because it was not a pretty site to see the rear end of that RX8 as smashed as it was.

That sucks. Hopefully they're ok.
I don't know about everyone else but I woke up to almost an inch of snow this morning. My 8 will be sitting in the garage until all this nonsense clears up. Time to warm up my truck.
Nydted1 - where in Kirkland do you live? I'm up on Finn Hill by the Jr high.

I had a half inch of snow ontop of an inch of ice by me, I wasn't planning on driving in this morning and after seeing the snow I definitely wasn't even if it made me late. I was on the first westbound 545 after it was closed and man, there were another 40 or 50 people waiting to get on. The way this place shuts down at the sight of snow is pretty amazing.

Cool. I drive near there going to and from work. I'd bet I've seen your car before - about half the time in the winter I'm driving my Tacoma so you'd never know it was me.

The snow is really spotty right now - some places got more tonight and some not so much. It tends to only be on the hills in the Kirkland/Bothell area - there is at least a half inch of new snow at my house in Juanita. Bellevue didn't really seem to have any this evening.

I live up the hill from the U-District and we had a layer of ice with snow on top all day yesterday. I'm pretty sure on my stock tires I wouldn't have made it up it. The drive wheels on the bus I was on kept slipping whenever we had to start up again in the stop and go traffic up 25th.
