Paul Dorpat today brings us an in-depth look at the history of snow in Seattle, going all the way back to the “Big Snow” of 1880 (pictured), and even further back than that. He’s been working on this essay since Christmas Eve, and it shows. In this opus in seven parts he attempts to document every large snowstorm Seattle has enjoyed over its 157 years, while also indulging in several digressions about Thanksgiving turkeys and cherry pie. Just read it. It will make sense.
