<p>I’m always bemused when snow hits my little hometown. Called mom during the Green Bay-Seahawks game because I couldn’t believe what I was seeing on the TV screen. I’ve been gone for years but I hadn’t seen so much snowfall in Seattle since dad spun out the '58 Cadillac (probably about 5,000 lbs of iron and steel) trying to drive uphill to my elementary school in 1968.</p>
<p>Anyway, mom sat comfortably at home, refusing to even venture beyond the two steps of her front porch.</p>
