7-9 inches of snow in Redmond, WA, in Overlake, near Microsoft, on December 18th, 2008. 520 was empty, buses blocked the 40th and 51st Street exits and effectively shut down the Overlake Transit Center.
I also live in Redmond and my family remembers the "Great Snowstorm of '08". It wasn't quite as bad where we were, but still impressive--we were able to build a giant snow fort.
@RedbeardMathPirate Yeah I'm only 14 and I've never seen anything like the storm we had over the pre-Christmas time of 2008. It was intense but winter 2009-2010 we had literally no snow. Not even a dusting. Nothing at all. Nada.
I moved to Redmond when I was 2 in '74 until '83, we had a few super good snow storms when I was a kid. Our house was at the top of the hill on 143rd ave.N.E., lots of good sledding! Wheee!
