10:59 AM: It’s midmorning and that means the National Weather Service is out with its newest “forecast discussion.” The outlook right now, the NWS says, is for snow tonight, but not for long: “A front will reach the area this evening. With cold air in place, the precipitation will be snow, then turning to rain by daybreak for most areas,” at least an inch before the switch. Read the full outlook here.

7:23 PM: We’re hearing reports of some flake sightings in West Seattle. If and when it starts to get significant, we’ll launch new coverage.

        I don’t know if I can trust Cliff anymore. Last time it was the over-hyped wind storm non-event, and now the no-show rush hour snow…..

        bummer, where’s the snow?

          On Twitter, MetPatrick reports some flakes. We’ll launch a new story if and when we see something significant…

    The news says it snowing…,I look outside and see nothing.

    Another over hyped news story.

    Snowmageddon, Brought to you buy the people who predicted the 50 year wind storm.

      lol…nothing here by Admiral Safeway that I can see…but, it’s dark…ya never know  ;-)

      I guess this teaches patience ;-)  I feel bad for the school kids that are hoping, hoping…

        This was apparently a first “band” and a second band might come through later. We’re waiting to see that one before going snow-crazy.

      You guys must have a good cell there – I’m watching camera views around the area and it looks decidedly unsnowy.

    We have snow sticking in Arbor Heights.   Not that deep but enough to turn the street and yards white.

Sorry, comment time is over.
