[@paulmicks7097]

So glad you're there to cover the event Lao Ocean, thanks !

[@LaoOcean]

Seattle Snowmageddon 2021 is finally here! 🤣 I went for a drive at 6:30 am and this is how it went. The coffee mission was real! Roll with me! ☕️❄️☃️🤓

[@seal8040]

Love how dedicated you are 😁

[@dagonxanith686]

I guess you don't know that snow usually like this shuts down Seattle for days.

[@daisyrosario3438]

Love snow! Thanks Dennis! It is totally wild the way nature works!🤓

[@justinpeters347]

Love how dedicated you are

[@MudGoose]

Heard it doesn't snow in Seattle because the warm Pacific

[@bigpar5]

Thanks for sharing. I use to travel from San Diego to SeaTac, Port Angeles, Tacoma and Bremerton to work on ships. Loved the cold weather months while on my trips. Sure brings back good memories while looking at your video. Sure do miss the PNW! Thanks again!

[@michaelSlick50]

It's not just NW inexperienced snow drivers - it's also an extreme lack of snow/ice removal trucks because we get so little snow, they don't have a big budget. So, often times, we can be near downtown, but if it is still snowing, we can have zero support in our less traveled streets because they are busy keeping the main lines open - and only the main lines.

[@moonbirchgrove]

Germany here! Season's greetings! And a big *Thank you* for the snow ride.

[@cheryls.9528]

I was born in Snohomish 75 years ago. I lived in Monroe until I was 11. I want to come back for a visit but probably never will. It is a very beautiful part of the country. This is sooooo nostalgic and beautiful.

[@moonstoneway2694]

Thanks for your videos, especially the Seattle ones. I used to work in offices in downtown Seattle and appreciated seeing what it was like there these last couple of years. Enjoy your walks whether you are talking or not. You do you! Happy holidays and may 2022 be good for us all.

[@headingoutside]

This is a beautiful video. I loves all the magical lights through the snow drops on the windshield.

[@LaoOcean]

Thank you!

[@leiaisabellaplant]

I love it when you talk during the video! If it was just silent it would be a little boring to be honest. I can’t wait to move to Washington and your videos make it much more exciting!

[@LaoOcean]

Thanks for the comment and watching!

[@dezimiller8144]

I agree!!

[@michelleburkholder2547]

Watch out for the Seattle freeze, it last all year round.

[@trapkoda]

I agree also! Would be much more boring if he wasn’t interacting with the camera

[@leiaisabellaplant]

@@michelleburkholder2547 I’ve heard about that! Thankfully I won’t be moving alone and will be reunited with a good friend of mine there!

[@charleschapman6309]

Watching from Norman, Oklahoma! As a PNW native transplanted onto the plains of Oklahoma, your videos and narration make my heart happy! I haven’t lived there in 25 years but I miss it so much! Glad I found your channel! You’re giving me something amazing to look at while I drink my morning coffee, haha! Keeps me sane until I can afford to return to Washington for a visit.

[@LaoOcean]

Thanks for watching!

[@ammccoy2142]

Watching you from Aberdeen, Wa. Lived in North Seattle for 30+ yrs! Thanks for the tour.

[@Jacob_Spang]

I lived in seattle from 1995-2000 we had a few snows while I was there, it was so much fun to drive around in it there. I spent time in the mountains in the winter. So I knew how to drive in it.

[@APlusRussian]

Clever name for the channel!! Nice Snowmaggedon coverage 😁 YT suggested this video, I guess because I'm from the Seattle area 😅 P.S. Lumen Field - also home of the Seattle Sounders FC ⭐💙💚⭐

[@LaoOcean]

Tha is for watching and adding the bit about the Sounders!! ⚽️⚽️⚽️

[@shaunmontoya151]

Watching from NYC! Wife and I love and miss Seattle and spend every morning during the week enjoying your vids. Thanks for the good energy!!

[@robertwhite6939]

I like listening to you talk and thanks for bringing us the seattle snow !

[@lilaccilla]

What a lovely ride ! Thanks so much , Yes , what a beautiful tour . And i agree , I love dogs . They adore the white stuff too!

[@jgme627]

Lao, thanks for doing all this for us peace!

[@KateSpiller]

So lovely to see the city blanketed in snow, and the hear your perspective. My kids are certainly enjoying it-can’t believe these low temperatures we are getting! And to think there is still more to come…

[@lilaccilla]

This is pretty funny . You could have walked with Yak tracks and ski poles . I use to live in Seattle in the 1970 s and 80 s . Nice to watch this and I have so many fond memories of walking home with my friend from Queen Anne High to her home on Bellevue Bellevue and Bellevue , then on to mine at 15 th and Aloha on Capitol hill . We would take the old stairs from the High school to Aurora and cross it back then . We were in great shape Im sure too ! I miss that town. ♥️🔔🌨ty 🆒⛄️❄️☃️❄️☃️❄️☃️♥️

[@milleijones2828]

Very brave of you to go out driving in the snow.. I woke up, peeked out the window, saw all that white s__t, and said "Yikes! Staying home today! I'll make my own coffee!" Thanks for the video. The white s__t is actually kind of pretty, if someone besides me is doing the driving. Happy Christmas week.🎅🏻

[@asian_raisin]

😂

[@BellevueGrl27]

I'm really surprised to see so much snow near the market. It looks awesome, but I know how those hills get. Stay safe out there.

[@SantosB485]

Thanks for the ride and happy ending (finding coffee). It looked so beautiful and peaceful. Hope you made it up the hill to your home. We used to watch people try to drive up the hill on Beach Dr when we lived in West Seattle. We live in Florida now and I sure miss the snow. This was the next best thing.

[@Dreaminclouds315]

Yup I love the snow, but snow in Seattle is so difficult due to the hills/inexperience, you're right. Especially the ice today. No driving for me! Lol

[@lilaccilla]

Watching from my lonely Blue Christmas in Sequim , Wa . this year all by myself 🤣

[@martinscruggs7736]

I'm originally from "The" Bronx, NY. Lived a few years in Bellingham. Also spent much time (almost ten tears in Denver. I've seen a lot of changes in Seattle. Nice to have a little tour with snow on the ground. We got 6 inches in Bellingham.

[@barbieb7418]

From Baker city never got to see what Seattle looked like until you videoed it. Thank- you so very much it was very enjoyable. Merry Christmas and a happy new year 🎄🎁👍😊

[@patriciawood9302]

Yes! Stay home as you said, but driving in town is much more fun! Little or no traffic! My son and his dad watched the Chicago Bears beat the Seattle Sea Hawks this day. Thank you for taking us around…i will be doing this with my cousin next year. My son and I have dozens of cousins there to visit…

[@gi169]

Excellent Video Mr. Ocean, say what you need to say. I'm here for the scenery and philosophy, and since you asked watching all your wonderful content from sunny San Diego (Oceanside). Looking forward, as always, for more videos... Take care, and thank you...

[@AdventureWalk4K]

Enjoyed seeing a snow-covered Seattle. Looks beautiful there at night with the city lights and reflections. How strange there is more snow in Seattle than here in Wisconsin so far this year! Thank you for the great tour 😍👍❄

[@richardkronberg4925]

Great video, don’t use wipers much, same way,man of danger! On a coffee mission, mission successful! Happy new year.

[@l82theparty4]

Greeting’s from Minnesnowta. We got this storm last night. Was there in October. Couldn’t imagine driving those hills in the snow! Keep talking! I enjoy the commentary!

[@candismith4080]

The Starbucks reserve is located in the first Sears & Roebuck company in Seattle. We used to shop there when I was a kid. Then Starbucks purchased the bldg and it was the headquarters around 1993 (I have a friend that worked there for about 10 yrs). The bldg was built in 1915.

[@davidwalker99]

I'm watching from Everett, I made coffee at home. I went out in the snow yesterday in my 4wd truck, it was kinda boring.

[@debratracy1876]

My family and I had a fabulous Christmas here in Snohomish

[@barbarasummers280]

I got to spend time with my son and a famiy we're friends with, that was a really nice time, haven't had a community together celebration in a long time... It was nice!

[@LaoOcean]

Family and friends is what it’s all about. Glad you were able to spend time with them.

[@reha1066]

Had to miss the Nutcracker ballet today but absolutely love the snow. Thanks, I was wondering what it looked like downtown.

[@johnsader8811]

Nice! Early is over by 6:00 am. (When you're old) growing up south of buffalo ny, we would measure the snow in 1/2 foot increments. You're close to my brothers place. Enjoying the show thanks for posting. john

[@MsCdngrrl]

Watching from Calgary, Alberta, Canada where it is currently -18F (but with the windchill if feels like -33F) and snowing lightly. It's it's been a brutally cold Christmas. I'm very happy to have 4 wheel drive and remote starter on my vehicle right now in this weather. Merry Christmas

[@dwaynewladyka577]

We were so warm in Alberta, until mid December. It turned very cold. The roads are very slippery.

[@profannaty]

Moving up next week and super excited!!! Have been watching your videos for a couple of months now 😁

[@MikesFoggyIdea]

Nice, I'm up in Ballard and was going to go out for coffee too but the car was just a white mound so went to the corner market for teriyaki instead. No coffee joints within a mile up here. Ill get enough come Monday and back to work.

[@Chatosvideos]

It is good to hear you say what street you are in as you are driving in the snow. Pike Place scenic view looks beautiful. It is peaceful and quiet -- you should sing carols -- that will wake us up.

[@Theranchhouse1]

I have exciting news for Seattle.... We have a brown dirty sandstorm in West Texas...lol...your snow is much prettier ! ( stay safe everyone and happy New Year)

[@LaoOcean]

😆

[@kathymau3117]

Wow!! I won't complain about all the rain we have been having in Hawaii!! Be safe out there driving. P.S. I do prefer the talking with the videos.

“Not messing with no hills fer sure….” 🤣 🤣

Watching you from the beach in Ventura, California. No snow here but some rain is on the way…

[@JoewooNetwork]

Definitely do a tour of PIke Place. I would love to see it packed around the holidays. Also, any chance you could do some one off's like a tour of the first Starbucks store and that pastry shop? You da man!

Hey I'm watching from a small town in Texas. Good video by the way. My boyfriend's 34 yr old son just moved to Seattle. I wouldn't mind visiting one day. This Christmas I spent it with a loved one my boyfriend and I got myself a studio creater 2 kit so I can film and vlog just like you sir. I had a nice time watching I will be checking your videos out in the future. Keep up the good work 😉😁😁✌️⛄.

[@lorilake7613]

Seasons greetings from the Olympic Peninsula. I'm snowed in! The snow is up to my knees! I spent Christmas with my two dogs and my cat. I gave them presents from Santa and their gift to me was some purring from kitty and lots of tail wagging from the dogs. "Let it snow, let it, snow let it snow!"

[@patriciawood9302]

Thank you for taking us on this trip around town..My niece is in Duvall with her kids…My son and his dad watched the Seahawks lose to the Bears!

[@tungstenwhizard4361]

Hahah, I went with my mom and watched them lose to the Falcons! Nothing beats freezing my ass off in the stadium watching a losing game but I wouldn't have traded it for anything in the world.

[@tonyschmidt8741]

Hey Dennis, watching from South Carolina. lived in Seattle 50 years. Nice to see some of the places I used to go. I don't care for Starbuck's either. SBC was my fav. Stay safe on those roads!

I’m in Sonoma County enjoyed seeing Seattle covered in snow.

[@calvinjefferson9061]

Snow in Seattle Washington. I bet the city scenery is really beautiful. There's nothing wrong with a video that's Narrative, that makes it more interesting especially when certain neighborhoods, Restaurant's, Places too stay and Recreational Points of interest to visit when visiting Seattle are mentioned. Really enjoy viewing your videos. Stay Safe and Warm Bro.

[@jazzfinger88]

That's right! Always remember that people who don't like the narrative can listen to their own music while they watch .... there is no need to take away the narration for those who enjoy it :)

[@alanskinner7031]

I wish it would Snow just like that in LA for a month - that would be awesome!

[@juliezamora5508]

Thanks for the tour. The snow sure is beautiful this time of the morning. You kept driving south and I was thinking oh my goodness he’s going to go to Krispy Kreme for coffee.… i’m watching from Phoenix where we’re having a cold wave. It’s 48° and cloudy.

[@debratracy1876]

Please turn your wipers more often, I can't see out your windshield very well. Love your show. thank you

It's a fact of life for me, living in Ontario, Canada. ;) Snow tires go on in November without fail. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you and your family. Take care and stay safe.

Watching from Australia. Merry Christmas. Back to kitchen for my second cup. I loved seeing how pretty it is in the snow. AHhhhhhhhhhh....Merry Festivus. We never have snow here so love the drive. I was like chuck a Uuueee or do a three point turn.....argggghhhhhhh! Thanks for sharing. I love my metal hand grinder and making coffee at home. Saves me so much and the smell is divine.

Great video! ( I watched the whole thing!)Our granddaughters got to make some little snow people in our backyard yesterday Christmas Day. ( Tacoma Washington here) I enjoyed this driving video! I’m that person that does everyone a favor and stays home when it snows or gets icy! No one needs a speed bump in their way! 🤣 your welcome! And thank you for sharing your snow drive in Seattle! One of our son in laws headed up to Seattle at 8:30am this morning to go to the sea hawks game today at 1:00 ( it’s 2:15pm now) have a great week! Santa was good to us all! Family was together. ❤️

Seattle "usually" doesn't get much snow except - 2018 "snowmageddon" - with ice floor shutting down roads, biz etc. + 2020 week long "snowmageddon" and now ending 2021 with arctic blast & snow is starting to look/feel pretty common. 😬
