(Falling to my knees, begging, pleading)
Please.
Folks, seriously.
PLEASE.
Do not - and I can’t emphasize this enough - set the state on fire this weekend.

We know delays are frustrating. The 24/7 lane reduction on WB I-90 btwn Preston & Issaquah has travel reduced to 1 lane = currently a 5 mile backup to SR 18. Crews poured concrete earlier today & we have minimal crews on site while it cures. https://t.co/ByWo3HsGvZ

@halvorson Just argued with myself about this as I took out the trash. Too tired to fully enunciate my cusses.

@joeDmarti This tweet has just the right amount of sass. I approve.

[Katie Skipper @KatieJSkipper1]

Stay safe @wsdot and drivers.

[Washington State DOT @wsdot]

Extreme weather has created conditions so hazardous that it's too dangerous for our crews to be in the mountain pass areas. Because of that, Snoqualime, Stevens, White & Blewett passes will not reopen until at least Friday & possibly not until Saturday. (1/6)

@halvorson Being married doesn’t guarantee anyone is getting me gifts, so I buy stuff for myself, wrap it and put it under the tree. I appreciate what I got for myself so much! I’m so sweet.

[Katie Skipper @KatieJSkipper1]

I feel this.

"After 12 min, the monitor starts to spike, showing NO2 levels of 168 ppb. 'So now we have exceeded the [WHO] hourly guideline of 106 ppb by about 50%,' says Kephart.

After half an hour, the air monitor shows 207 ppb — nearly twice the WHO guideline."

@joeDmarti I feel this deeply.

@OfficialJonZal @AndyRichter He’ll ping them when he touches down so he can circle back on a couple of key points and they can hit the ground running in real time.

@KromanDavid Yes, please! And the needed infrastructure and political will to support safe, healthy, equitable transportation that doesn’t contribute to climate change. Congratulations!

@AndroidAlly @LingualLoser @PoSt0nerDegen @Belikin_fan @ACLakeMD The virus is smaller than dust, but your airborne spit and snot mist are not.

@joeDmarti I had this exact same thought yesterday after folding all the laundry I washed last weekend before washing, drying, folding AND putting away the laundry from this week. It will never happen again so I’m going to extra savor my achievement.

@nami_kiyoshi @DamianLBradley @mamaachelle This is horrible. I had no idea.
