what the hell is all this white shit?

Seattle has a temperate climate. It's wet, sure, but everybody knows that the temperature holds fast at around 40 degrees all winter, effectively preventing all that snowy goodness that seems to exist in other parts of the country.

This year the system broke down. Seattle has had snow on the ground since last Saturday, and a flurry of recent -- I apologize in advance -- flurries has left about a foot and a half of powder.

This is a huge problem. On the east coast, or in Minnesota or some place like that, a foot and a half of snow is no big deal. They salt the roads, get out the snowplows, and all the streets are clean by 6 am. The City of Seattle has precisely 27 snowplows to service the entire city. They do not stock up on salt or sand, and Seattle is probably the second-most-hilly city in the U.S.

Basically, we're fucked. Half of all roads are completely closed, no one knows how to drive, and I'm stuck in the house.

The best part, though, is that it's supposed to warm up just in time to have our usual rainy Christmas.

Happy Holidays, everyone! And happy first night of Hanukkah, Jews!

omfg videos!

A number of people (okay, one person and my mom) have pointed out that I don't update this blog nearly enough to keep everyone's interest. This is true. I apologize, and will do my best to update more often.

But for now, let me present the first ever videos on the hurwitz. Both made for my music video/commercial class. Enjoy.
