Updated: Forecasters are calling for as much as 1 to 3 inches of snow today, mostly in the afternoon. KING 5 photographer @king5unit11 took this photo of snow flurries on the top of Queen Anne this morning:

The biggest traffic trouble spot right now is the Aurora Bridge, which is covered with ice. There have been two accidents so far (photo). SDOT says it has deployed its snow plows “to patrol snow routes and treat problem spots.”


Traffic camera updated every couple minutes at Queen Anne Ave. and Mercer

As we mentioned last night, Metro buses are on snow routes today.

5:55 a.m. from Seattle Public Schools:

Today middle and high schools will start at the regular time, but will dismiss early at 12:35 p.m. This is due to the fact that snow is expected later in the afternoon. The elementary and K-8 Parent-Teacher conferences will proceed today as planned.

And here’s the latest forecast from the National Weather Service:

Cloudy with snow flurries this morning. Snow at times this afternoon. Snow accumulation 1 to 3 inches. Becoming windy. North wind 10 to 15 MPH increasing to 20 to 30 MPH this afternoon. Temperatures near 30.
