Students were screaming as bus crashed through barrier (Seattle Post-Intelligencer)
(Photo: Seattle P-I)
A couple of charter buses with dozens of people aboard slid down ... snow-covered cobblestones ... and crashed into each other Friday morning, crashing through a guardrail... 20 to 30 feet above Interstate 5.
(Rainster's note: Basically, to the left of the photo is a very, very steep hill. I used to live a few blocks away. Meanwhile, a similarly steep hill near La Madre's house has been blocked off by police since the day before it snowed.)
Last Sunday, I was on a bus (public transportation, unlike these ones) that did the same thing, though in a different part of the city. (And the county has since put chains on all the buses.) We slid backwards, though, and hit the guardrail but didn't go through it. I walked two miles before my bro-in-law picked me up.
Still, safety concerns aside, I lovelovelove snow.

Yipes indeed. Your love of snow is admirable. I shoveled a foot of snow off our driveway this morning, and am teetering on the border of wanting fly South (fortunately, Arizona beckons).
Not growing up with snow, it's always a novelty and somewhat magical -- even shoveling sidewalks and scraping windshields!
