Yes. I roll down my front windows so I can make turns without getting t-boned. It's awesome.

Just heard about the cold weather-my vacation to Disney World couldn't have been more timely!
Stay warm, Seattle-GAF.

This winter got off to a late start. So it's already weird. However it has snowed as early as Thanksgiving in recent years, so who knows. If it does snow it shouldn't interrupt your moving plans, the show isn't a foot deep shutting the whole city down or anything serious like that. At worst, we'll get funny Youtube videos of people sliding down hills in their cars.

Depends on the year. Snow HAS occured in the lowlands as early as october and as late as march. Trouble with Seattle weather in general is that it's quite unpredictable due to the local geography.
Indeed. Snow in Seattle is rarely deep, but it's often wet and slippery. The hilly terrain does not help either.
Thanks guys. I'm actually not as worried about the snow itself as the low temperature; having never lived in a cold place.

Where are you from? It's not that cold compared to say, New England, but it's a bit chillier than the rest of the West Coast, for example.
Australia. Never in my life have I seen snow

Whoa, big change! Well, as far as snowy locales go, Seattle is definitely on the milder end of the scale. We don't get that much and it doesn't get terribly cold, though the city tends to freak out and shut down when snow falls because it doesn't have the infrastructure to deal with it.Australia. Never in my life have I seen snow

We definitely don't get much snow, but we freak out over the little that we do get. A couple years ago when we got snow right before Thanksgiving, it took me 10 hours to get from work in Auburn to my home in Greenlake on I-5 (roughly 30 miles).
As the others have pointed out, our weather is highly variable. Snow could start in November or we might not have any at all in a winter season. And if we're unlikely, we get more than a few inches and the entire city shuts down. Hills+snow=no viable transportation.

Willie's has Heaven Sent Fried Chicken, which is Ezell, formerly of Ezell's Fried Chicken.
ahhhhh yeah .. somebody explained that to me. it was great.

It's more complicated than its worth, but Heaven Sent and Ezell's are pretty much the same thing.
Also, Philly Fevre in the Central District is legit cheesesteaks.

I might do this tomorrow, thanks
I think I might do this after work tomorrow too!
I've had willie's bbq once and it was good. But for amazing bbq go a few more blocks south on Rainier and hit Jones' BBQ in Columbia City. My god, it's heavenly.
Cold and rainy. WELCOME TO SEATTLE!
Status quo, status quo.

Looks good but the fact that it's in West Seattle means I'll never go there. I'll stick with my Ezell's.

Oh wow. That's the place that used to be Spring Hill. I'll have to check it out sometime.
Presse is brilliant for a quick nosh and footy. Love that place.
Willie's is terrible for BBQ, however. Never had their chicken. But sounds like it's not theirs?
Ezell's is the worldwide standard for me.
THIS.
It's been years (since the old Philly Steak Out in Westlake) I've been able to find a PROPER cheesesteak in this town. Fevre comes about as close as PSO ever did.
Yeah, been there. Not the best (opinion) and expensive as hell.
Then you're missing out on Cheeky Cafe!!!!

I've never been to Willie's, just noticed the Heaven Sent sign in the window while heading to my friend's place in Seward Park. Heaven Sent is actually a separate chain owned by Ezell, the original founder of Ezell's Friend Chicken. It's the exact same recipe, they just have to call it something else due to a legal settlement.
