The reason why you pushed and shoved your way through Safeway with thousands of other of other Seattleites to stock up on a truck load of jello, beans, and tuna finally feels justified -- Snowmageddon has arrived! (Dun, dun, dun...) Schools are canceled and many are being advised to stay home, but if you don't have the luxury of camping out on your couch to watch "Top Chef" reruns, the Seattle Department of Transportation has maps and live traffic cams to give you the latest update on which roads are open/plowed/generally safe to drive on. If you're super cautious and don't want to be that guy skidding horizontally down the street in slow-mo "Fast and the Furious"-style, you can even check to see what plows are using de-icers, salt, or just the straight-up plow to plan your route.
