There will not be a snow day with many Capitol Hill school kids out for midwinter break but Seattle got a surprise thin layer of new snow Wednesday morning. The National Weather Service had predicted a 20% chance of the white stuff. Those odds delivered.
The NWS says a Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for the lowland areas of Snohomish, King, and Skagit Counties with 1 to 2” of snow possible through 11AM.
The snowfall is part of a blast of cold air across the West that could produce an ongoing wintry mix here in the city through the weekend.
As of around 8 AM, streets were dusted but traffic was still getting about while sidewalks and lawns were coated. If it comes to it, you can check to see when streets in your area were recently treated here. The First Hill Streetcar suffered some service disruptions on the morning due to “blocking vehicles,” SDOT reported.
