Meet got in entirely.

Athletes should be OK to get home to their campuses tonight.

At the meet:

Fast times in both men's and women's 3k races

(4th and final women's heat produced top 7 finishers overall in women's 3000)

More on FloTrack Husky Classic page on the FloTrack website.

Interesting thing from the meet:

In the first women's 3k heat, senior Nokuthula Dlamini of Texas Tech ran barefoot and finished 6th in her heat (9:38.62).

That's right,Thuli ran in her BARE FEET indoors!

Washington Track & Field Twitter page has a 13 second video clip of the race, she comes in about 5-6 seconds in. Have to stop and pause clip in the right spot to notice her bare feet.

Definitely this. The roads and sidewalks literally turn to ice rinks because there is minimal plowing and everything just freezes. You literally can’t get around.
Contrary to outside belief, Seattle has about 35 snow plows, more than the enough considering the minimal snow - sometimes none in a year.
The nature of wet snow + borderline freezing temperatures creating ice + hills and hills = dangerous to drive at all.

Not really. Seattle has vehicles that can be outfitted as plows, but they have no real dedicated snow plows. See

re: Slow Bro

This footage is from Portland but it shows the dangerous mix of driving conditions that occur when the temps are right at freezing.

I lived in this neighborhood and remember a 7 mile run that started at the MAC Club where it was 33 degrees and rainy and as we went up into Washington park it was snowing with 2 inches of accumulation. By the time we got back we had passed back below the snow line and it just looked like a normal rainy day.

That’s what Seattle is up against. The weather outside your window is different all around town and two degree drop in temps could turn all that rain to snow.

So what Seattle is p against is HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE drivers? Good gawd, what was that gut thinking?? Some Paul Walker wannabe....going in reverse, Doing spins all over the road, bouncing off things like it was a parkour course?

Friggen millenials.... both hands on wheel, no textingm, drive STRAIGHT, and NO brodies!

I would declare an emergency too if I saw drivers in my town driving like this.!!
