I am still hoping to come, but my unlike many of you, new TT is my daily driver and I too have summer tires. I don't have an A3 or jeep as a backup. Not going to take any risks with my car if the weather looks questionable, but will see to it that the toys get delivered to the children.

12:15pm: The National Weather Service has canceled a winter storm warning for the central Puget Sound region. The storm is apparently tracking much farther north and there is no longer a threat of widespread disruptive snow. However, an inch or two of slushy snow is still possible Friday night into Saturday on the higher hills. There is also a risk of hit and miss snow showers on Saturday and Sunday.
Wait... how much further north?
Fortunately enough all the snow that fell up here today hasnt stuck, as long as it doesnt freeze on me now
I think I should go remove my lower splitter if there's going to be and inch or two of slush. I dont want to be a plow for WA now
EDIT:
Not too bad until tomorrow night

I am at my house so I will meet you guys in Kent at the part and ride (off 272nd i think is right) at 1:30. If the weather is too cold and crappy the 911 is staying in the garage.. summer tires and NO traction control...that car was slippery yesterday

Highway 18 has had several accidents this morning - just saw on the news. Temperatures supposed to drop and still chances of snow. Hmmm, I am thinking the TT is going to stay in the garage (summer tires) today guys. If I am not there, I chickened out.

Greta, I hope you can at least make it to Whole Foods. I was/am looking forward to meeting you.

WOW, what a turnout today! Will be interested to hear how many cars were actually there. So glad I came, and thanks David for taking my toys the rest of the way (next year I will bring a car full now that I know what this is all about) It was great to see everyone, drive, good conversation, and see all the cars. I hope someone will post some pictures - mine are not so good. It was really great to see all the toy donations that were being made too. Happy Holidays to all!
