West Seattle Weather Watch: Early-early-morning snow

1:04 AM: A wave of it is moving through, headed north to south, west to east. Seeing it yet?

1:30 AM UPDATE: It’s been here for about 10 minutes – and as one commenter describes it, it’s more like snow-sleet – you can hear it. Just added video.

1:55 AM UPDATE: Going on an hour now, still snowing. The photo above shows a non-arterial street near WSB HQ, with the snow sticking – but it’s deceptive – without cars passing, you can hear meltwater going into the storm drains.

2:56 AM UPDATE: No longer snowing. Maybe half an inch accumulated (we’re at about 330 feet up) on the cars and the plants; the street-sticking snow didn’t stick around for long. We’ll see in a few hours what the morning commute’s like, though – we’ll be covering that in a separate story.

    Yep. Looking outside, there’s some kind of sleetish frozenish stuff coming down. Too dark to tell exactly what it is but it’s bouncing off the window.

    Rain doesn’t bounce off the window like that.

    Couldn’t believe it when I saw on the 11PM news all the snow in Lynnwood today. My place had sunshine all day. I just want spring.

    It’s snowing here in Seaview, after a round of hail (or is that graupel?). I had no idea it was supposed to snow!

    March comes in like a snowy lion. Okay, more like a snowy kitten.

    Wish it would dump down snow.
