Snow foolin! Winter still has bark Lillian sent this photo from Kent. Story Published: Apr 1, 2009 at 9:44 AM PDT Story Updated: Apr 1, 2009 at 11:23 AM PDT By Scott Sistek SEATTLE -- Students who are on spring break this week enjoying a warm beach somewhere to the south might not believe we're seeing more snow here in Western Washington. A little snow fell in many of the higher elevations and foothills Wednesday morning as some cold air from Wednesday morning lingered just long enough to combine with an incoming front to drag the snow levels down -- even Downtown Seattle has seen some flurries at times. There were no major problems reported, and the snow did not appear to be sticking to many roads in the lowlands as temperatures were still a degree or two above freezing. The Hood Canal area and hilltops above 700 feet could see a trace to 1 inch of accumulation before we warm to rain as the day progresses. The rest of the afternoon will feature light rain at times, with highs gradually getting into the mid 40s. Snow will be much more of a problem up in the mountains, where a Winter Storm Warning is in effect through 8 p.m. Thursday. Accumulations will become greater as we get into this evening and tonight, with 8-14" possible. Then, another round of heavy snow expected Thursday with an additional 5-10" expected. So use caution and be prepared for delays if the Department of Transportation has to perform avalanche control work. April Starts As March Finishes: Cold! As we close the book on March, it will go down as the coldest March since 1976, and 7th coldest since records were kept at Sea-Tac Airport (1945). The average temperature was 41.7 degrees -- a full 4.5 degrees below normal. (1976 was 41.2). If you count the Downtown Federal Building records, which were used between 1891 and 1945, it's the 10th coldest March on record. Other cities were in the same boat. All of Forks, Hoquiam and Olympia had their third coldest March on record. Finally, for just the third time sine 1891 that there has been over an inch of snow in each of the winter months -- December, January, February and March. The only other times that has happened was in 1970-71 and 1895-96. komonews.com
