12:59 AM: Thanks to WSB contributor Deanie Schwarz for the first heads-up – a sort of snow/sleet mix has begun to fall. Meantime, Stephanie saw an SDOT de-icer truck on the West Seattle Bridge right before midnight, as the city had promised. Official Sea-Tac 1 am temperature is 38 degrees, so it’s a little too warm to stick, so far.
1:13 AM NOTE: First shower over already – radar a couple over ago had suggested whatever comes, will be in showery installments, like this.
5:29 AM UPDATE: Nothing much through the night here in West Seattle. Checking out TV traffic reports, looks like South Everett has snow right now. (See this WSDOT camera.) So if you commute in that direction, be ready! Tacoma had a shower, too, but it’s stopped there.
8:15 AM UPDATE: Uneventful in-city commute. New forecast (from National Weather Service at 7 am) says showers are still a possibility.
