City Snowy Week in Review

Posted by on Thu, Dec 25, 2008 at 12:38 PM

Two images that, for me, defined the last week—now in diptych form.

I love the sledding photo, but the way it was cropped on this week's print cover was a total fail.

It was fun for the first few days, but elected officials need to plan now for the next storm. http://is.gd/dtNf

It's coming down beautifully at the moment.

I say keep it coming, but I can walk everywhere I need to go, and work at home most of the time.

It's absolutely beastly Christmas weather down here in Santa Barbara ... instead of sunny all the time occassionally there's a warm misty rain ...

Forget South vs. North, Conservative vs. Liberal, Black vs. White, Gay vs. Striaght. This picture represents the new dichotomy of American society.

#6 is the most insightful comment I've read in a long time.

A better picture for the cover of the Stranger would have been one of the many piles of empty beer cans left out in the middle of the street by those fun-loving hipster sledders.

how about all the garbage piling up by canisters because garbage trucks can't get through in the snow?

@9 - yeah, what's up with that?

Real Northwest hipster sledders drink from bottles.
