WEST SEATTLE WEATHER: First snow showers

6:18 PM: The first snow showers have arrived in parts of West Seattle. We were just in The Junction and Alki, where what was falling ta the time was more like cold rain, but as we drove south into High Point, Westwood, Gatewood, and Upper Fauntleroy, we saw a dusting of snow on cars and planting strips. The National Weather Service forecast has chances of snow off and on for the next few days, though nothing massive is expected so far. Are you seeing snow too?

7:03 PM: Still snowing lightly up here but radar suggests this will all end soon.

9:04 PM: Main point to note, temps will be at or below freezing overnight, so what’s fallen won’t be going away. Meantime, the newly updated NWS forecast discussion suggests the next chance of an inch or so of snow is likely Tuesday night into Wednesday; the longer-range forecast still suggests it’ll warm up to around 50 on Christmas Day,

      Snowing so lightly last night in Admiral, it felt like an irritating hair accross my nose. Kept brushing it away!

    The forecast keeps shifting. I was surprised to wake up to falling snow still happening in Seaview. I’m watching the weather apps, and they are ratcheting up their predictions as the day goes on. I suppose only time will tell, but since I love the snow… Let it snow!

Sorry, comment time is over.
