Definitely! We had a few false alarms last few weeks where we thought it would, ended up not. When it started rolling in for real I knew I had to charge up the drone!

We get snow like this at least once a year.

Without knowing, I would think I was looking at somewhere in the upper Great Lakes. Nice shot

Can confirm. I grew up on the shores of Lake Superior.

Still glad I decided to keep my ass to PA. It was bad enough with people driving like idiots here, I didn’t want to deal with a PT or Ludlow today.

For me this photo makes me want to move there.. from PA 😂

And no one would blame you. I just didn’t want to drive there today with all the snow and ice on the road.

Do they not salt the roads as much there? Or the drivers are particularly not great in the snow?
thesequimkid t1_j11wm40 wrote
The state does, but I don’t know about PA. Then on top of that PA only has a a few plow drivers right now.

Oh shit.. I'm talking about Pennsylvania. Whats your version of PA over there? Sorry I'm not familiar with Washington, just a fan. Haha

Port Angeles.

State boys/gals (WSDOT) do great w plowing and salting but they don’t make as much as other city people (i.e City of Seattle, City of Kent, etc.) City of PA I’m not sure but assuming they don’t make as much, resulting in not as much revenue or money to upkeep. But also not as much need to keep roads clear as much smaller population than Seattle etc.

No. It’s just a bunch of the city of Port Angeles plow drivers refused to get vaccinated. So they were let go, resulting in the city having only a few drivers and many streets to clear. They’re having a hard time keeping up with the main streets: 1st, Front, Race, Laurel, Peabody, Lincoln.
The state guys are doing a bang up job of trying to stay up on the plowing out here in the peninsula.

Well I applaud them for sticking their ground and holding their values as a lot of us other folks caved & got the s h n o t. I’ll wait and see what my side effects are in a few years :( kudos to them and respect to the years of knowledge we lost when the old timers left due to the shot.

No their decision was a selfish one. That not only put their families in a tight spot until positions opened up at business that had spots for them, it put more strain on their coworkers. They had a cushy city government position, that had guaranteed benefits. They threw all that away just because they didn’t want to get a vaccine? That’s idiotic!

Drone shot of Fort Warden! Would be epic.

I've thought about doing it, but the hassle of applying for the State Parks permit in advance and paying the fee seems excessive for just some cool shots.

I love Port Townsend! So many great memories of summer music festivals spent there. I'd love to move there if I could.
