West Seattle Monday: Snowy start; Locöl’s opening day; more

(WSB video from the peak of this morning’s brief 8 am snow shower, added 8:19 am)
While there’s been a bit of snow overnight, and some showers continuing again now, it’s NOT expected to last much longer, according to the forecast – but be ready for some tomorrow. No major traffic problems reported (see the cameras below, and check more here):

Clearing’s expected later – then snow is forecast to start late in the day on Tuesday. Also today: As announced Friday, Rachel Marie is back on the West Seattle Water Taxi run, which means Pier 50 arrivals/departures downtown again … two meetings of note tonight: North Delridge Neighborhood Council, meeting room at Delridge Library, 6:30 pm, and the citywide Skatepark Advisory Committee, 6 pm at Parks HQ downtown (with Delridge Skatepark on the agenda – as we reported Friday, it’s cleared for re-bidding) … West Seattle See Dogs invites anyone interested in raising a puppy to become a guide dog to join them at Merrill Gardens Admiral Heights (WSB sponsor) tonight at 6:30, 2326 California SW … And it’s opening day for Locöl, 35th/Kenyon, noon (here’s our report on its “soft-open” event last Friday night). Lots more on the WSB West Seattle Events calendar – and separate coverage if the snow shower lasts for long!

9:10 AM NOTE: … which it didn’t. And now the weather forecast has changed yet again. Now, we’re looking at some snow tomorrow evening, but then rain and wind after that … And weather analyst Cliff Mass is saying the same thing.

any word on the hills….have to go from the bottom of a dell to the top of a ridge to get the kid to school and it’s a little icy around here.

It ended really fast. Just a couple flakes now. But still – be careful!

It’s coming down pretty good in Sodo! :)

It’s pretty ;) I’m hoping it will turn into some real snow tomorrow night like they’re predicting (at least the channel I watch).

As long as the chance of snow is in the forecast, I’m happy. :) We’ll see…….. snow snow snow snow snow snow

Seems like they’re still ironing out the kinks with the Water Taxi. The 8:50 boat from WS to downtown was serviced by the Melissa Ann (the Vashon Island boat), about 10 minutes late. When we pulled up to pier 50 the Rachel Marie was still docked in it’s usual spot with it’s regular crew on board.
