Quickly, Everyone Back to the Storm Cellar

From the Times of Seattle

More snow is on the way for the Seattle-Tacoma area — an additional one to three inches this afternoon, just in time for the evening commute, according to the National Weather Service.

Cold air spilling into the region from the north is expected to reach Seattle and the Eastside by 1 p.m., "with one to three inches accumulation" now forecasted, said Danny Mercer, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Seattle.

Update from the Times: Forecasters initially thought snow would hit Seattle by 1 p.m., and while it will be late, it's still expected.

Update from the PI: The line of snowfall was north of Everett by midafternoon and was expected to sweep southward through Seattle by 6 or 7 p.m. - possibly during the first half of the Seahawks-Packers game - although Mercer said conditions could change quickly.
