Morning Snow on Beach Drive

 

The forecast calls for "scattered snow showers this morning...with local accumulations of an inch or two possible.  A chance of snow or rain showers this afternoon...."

Car Break-In

Just found out today that sometime last week, someone broke into a neighbors truck around just south of Jacobsen on Beach Drive.  The vandal jammed the door lock and came up empty handed since there were no valuables in the vehicle to take.

Potential Whale Sightings

This from West Seattle Blog's Twitter:

caller says up to 20 whales headed south from Point No Point - so maybe they'll be seen off WS. (before dark? maybe?)

By the way if you follow West Seattle Blog via Twitter, I invite you to follow me, too!

Warning: Beach Drive Homes "Cased" by Phoney "Window Salesmen"

I received theses tip from Beach Drive Neighbors:

Around the corner of Jacobsen and Beach Drive, a few police officers stopped by her house this afternoon  [2/12] and asked if she had noticed anyone "casing" their house or had there been any unusual activity near her house. She had just woke from a nap and was surprised to see them but alert enough to tell them that she did have an unusual experience last night [2/11]. A couple young men came to her door at 7pm selling windows, when she said she was not interested they asked for cookies, when she said she had none they asked for a glass of water, she closed the door and got them a water cup to go. When she returned with the cup one man was there and the other was not...

another neighbor reports that:

they stopped by his house as well and clearly were not window sales people.

Just a reminder that we need to look out for each other.  If you notice anything suspicious, call 9-1-1.

A big thanks to the neighbor who notified me of this activity.

Snow!

Well at least it's just a dusting along Beach Drive...it certainly should not be enough snow to delay our scheduled garbage pick up!  

 

Worse case scenario, you may some ice on your windshields to contend with this morning.

 

We still have snow in the forecast for Seattle for tonight and tomorrow morning.

A Whole Lot of Shakin' (or Rattling) Going On

Just south of Jacobsen on Beach Drive, the road is being jack-hammerred in order to repair a pipeline from a home.  I'm told the work should be complete today.
