A Washington State snow storm is drawing a lot of interest to King 5 news and the National Weather Service. Snow from Seattle to Spokane is expected on Wednesday and Thursday, and this could be a pretty powerful storm when everything is said and done. 30 plows have been commissioned and put on standby to help out the Seattle Department of Transportation, and plans on how to deal with the snow and ice are about to get under way.
The plows are on 24-hour-hour shifts in Seattle right now, and it could become tough to get around the city. Snow up on Snoqualmie Pass is expected to be bad, and then there is the East side of the mountains to consider. The West side of the state doesn't often get heavy snowfall like what might be coming, and the community is struggling to prepare for it. Out in the Spokane area though, snow has been hitting the major cities all winter. Now 4 to 8 more inches of snow are expected on Wednesday night, with the possibility of even more arriving overnight.
The National Weather Service has now suggested that people leave work early on Wednesday, because it could get bad. A winter storm warning is in effect until 10 am PST on Thursday, with up to 6 inches of accumulation possible in the Seattle/Tacoma area. Severe winter weather is expected, making the evening commute a possible mess. The East side of the state could possibly see even more snow than that by Thursday morning.
