If I drink iced coffee, maybe the weather will cooperate? I'm willing to try all the things to get us to summer, Northend friends. In the meantime, make sure your headlights are on, your wipers are working & you adjust speed for conditions of the rainy & wet variety.

Thanks to
@SeattleMet
for telling the story of one of our maintenance crew members, Joe Bivins:
QUOTABLE: "And what we do really makes a difference."
Here's a quick read to start your day! Maintenance worker Joe Bivins shares his encounters with snakes and scotch broom and that one time his truck was struck by another vehicle (and the guy didn't even slow down).

Anyone else think this rain is hiss-terical?! Let's avoid any cat-astrophe by slowing down, increasing your distance, using your headlights and keeping two paws on the wheel.
