We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, Seattle and Washington as a whole have unpredictable weather. This most recent weather pattern has been a salient reminder to expect the unexpected. So here’s how the internet has reacted to Washington’s weather and the Seattle ice storm.
Coming in hot from TikTok we have Washington State Patrol working overtime to literally push drivers up Highway 18. If that’s not impressive, we don’t know what is.

Look, Seattleites aren’t the best drivers and that’s no secret but everyone deserves a little bit of a break when the roads are basically ice rinks. With that in mind, it’s probably best to not take your car out unless you absolutely have to.
@ali_oops13 After 4 straight years of snow, you’d think they’d invest in more plows and sand trucks. #seattle #snowstorm #ice #screammovie ♬ Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! – Dean Martin

They have ditched the sleds and are just laying on the ice. At least they’re wearing helmets. #wawx #Seattlewx #seattle #icestorm https://t.co/IsdcgbiutW pic.twitter.com/240CEKRmpt

Need actual mountaineering gear to walk around my neighborhood today. Stay off the roads. Wild Seattle scene for sure. #Seattle #wawx #BombCyclone pic.twitter.com/5b2IaSGKmt

Fingers crossed temperatures actually warm up this weekend. Until then, stay safe and preferably at home so you can avoid all the Seattle ice storm madness. Happy Holidays!
