WEST SEATTLE WEATHER: Snow showers, first wave

(INFOLINKS: West Seattle traffic cams … SDOT’s citywide camera map … SDOT’s winter-response map … Metro advisories)

9:41 AM: Serious snow shower right now in Upper Fauntleroy. That’s what the forecast is suggesting for our area today – still no official weather alert for Seattle, though, and no major accumulation is expected, but this one is heavy enough that the dusting is already sticking on the ground.

And on the roads, at least in the higher areas!

9:56 AM: And elsewhere. Sam from Sylvan Way says drivers are already getting stuck on the hill east of The Home Depot (she sent the photo above). … And moments later, the snow stopped, for now.

10:58 AM: Metro has sent alerts that Route 125 is routed off 16th SW between Austin and Oregon because of road conditions. We’re adding the Metro status link to our infolinks atop this story – though we’re in a break now, radar suggests more on the way.

11:23 AM: Metro says the 125 has resumed regular routing.

    “No official alert….”Are we sure that office is still open and functioning?  Serious question.

      Yes. They are issuing alerts for other parts of the area, as well as other reports (forecast discussions, etc.) …..

    People are already getting stuck on Sylvan Way. Stay safe.

    We live above the Seola Beach area and it has tried to snow and stick most of the morning off and on but has not succeeded. But we just returned from Tukwila/SouthCenter and the snow was coming down pretty good and sticking there, maybe 2 inches. I guess some neighborhoods are just a hit and miss.

    And just like that is over

    What’s the best place to find SPS alerts for snow delays or closures? I know Highline is on a 2 hour delay as of now.
