Lack of snow and freezing winter temps are just a few of the many reasons I decided to leave Detroit for Seattle. Well, we had a winter storm here that essentially shut down much of the city for a few days. I took some pictures in Belltown of the snow, and thought I'd share.





This first set of pictures are from Sunday, January 14, 2012, around Noon.

And a video from 12:47pm.

After the storm, around 1:30pm.





The second set of pictures are from Wednesday, January 18, 2012. I had trouble sleeping that evening.

A video from 3:19am, when the "Big Storm" started in Belltown.





2nd Ave 3:52am

2nd Ave 3:54am. Even Snowmaggedon won't stop the crack dealers.





I finally was able to get a few hours of shut eye, then woke up to a Belltown Winter Wonderland. Here are pics from around Belltown and sledding at Pike Place Market:
