Seattleites get very creative (props to Miss. Beringer)

Despite having to work all 3 nights of Seattle's winter weather event of the year, I came out of it alive.

Thank. You. God.

Because downtown is filled with incredibly steep hills and there are no plows or salt in sight, I decided to "hunker down" at my friend Audrey's place.

I just wasn't interested in plowing down ice into the railroad tracks off 1st Avenue.

Or sacrificing my sleep.  I mean, c'mon people.

Luckily, Audrey lives down the street from the hospital because my goodness who would ever be able to drive to work in 2 feet of snow?

(Note: Seattle got about 3-5 inches.)

It turned out to be a 2 day sleepover adventure. 

We survived on diet coke, tea, bagels and pizza.

Turns out it's pretty fun to see a California girl's reaction to winter weather!  No gloves.  No boots.  

But Audrey was quite the trooper.

As was her 5 pound toy poodle, Teddy.

He pretty much just hopped over the snow.  Like a little bunny.  Adorable.

Our courtyard view in downtown Seattle.

Seattle Children's main road.  Post-night shift day 1.

My CRV saved the day.

Everyone here just thinks I love wolves or something.

Audrey's driveway.  Looks like about 2 inches.

Pretty trees at the hospital.  Post work night 2.

Pretty snow covered houses.

I'm not really sure how we survived such a storm.

I definitely don't owe my life to a snow plow.
