Mariners Moose Tracks, 2/10/19: Apartments, Language Change, and Possible Subtweet

How’s everyone holding up through the unending snow? NWS Seattle has been providing some timely updates on Twitter about what the future holds. Another winter storm watch is in effect for Sunday and Monday.

It doesn’t sound like that will be the end of things either. Apparently, we can expect this type of weather for the next 1-2 weeks.

Earlier this week, a person from California that just moved up to the states asked me if this weather was normal in Seattle. I said that it wasn’t and that we rarely get snow that sticks around here. I would like to apologize to that person. I did not do my part in preparing you for what lies ahead.

Without further ado, let’s get onto the links!
