Well, I won't comment on the pictures as my Mom always told me if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.... However, I can tell you that snow in Seattle is very rare, maybe once a year, and maybe an inch at that. Last year, we had no snow in the Seattle/Tacoma area, this year one day of 2" already... So that is not a true winter season of Seattle. Winter is more like Rain and more Rain.
