Winter Storm Warning

Thanks to Mary M.

The National Weather Service in Seattle has issued a Winter Storm Warning for Seattle and surrounding areas from 7:00 PM Monday through 7:00 PM Tuesday. Snow accumulations from 2-8 inches are possible. Heavy accumulating snow will likely impact the morning and evening commutes on Tuesday, making travel very difficult. Avoid or delay travel if possible. If you must travel, check road and transit conditions before beginning your trip and prepare for possible delays. Take winter travel safety precautions: keep an extra flashlight, food, water, warm clothing, and a way to communicate with you and in your vehicle in case of emergency.

Extremely cold weather will continue through this week, with low temperatures well below freezing and potential wind chills in the single digits. These temperatures are dangerous. Emergency warming spaces are available for people without shelter and their pets. All residents should keep pets indoors during extreme cold.
