It’s day two of the Seattle weather that brought us snow-covered streets yesterday, and bumper cars on ice on Queen Anne Avenue last night. And though we have sunny skies today, colder temperatures have ensured that the icy roads remain.

Here are a few reminders for traversing the second-day ice:

  • King County Metro Transit is once again working snow routes. Linda Thielke with Metro says that more than a dozen bus routes have been canceled because of the driving conditions. Here is the link to check on changes. Metro warns:

    Buses will be crowded and significantly delayed, perhaps even worse than Monday due to the road conditions. If those conditions severely deteriorate overnight, Metro may have to cancel entire bus routes in the morning.

    Bus riders should check www.kingcounty.gov/metro/snow for the most current status of Metro service before traveling Tuesday. If you do not have internet access, call Metro’s Customer Information Center at (206) 553-3000. Due to the volume of calls, there could be a wait on the phone lines.

  • All Seattle public schools are closed today, and we can’t find a private school in Seattle on SchoolReport.org that’s open. All classes are cancelled at the University of Washington and only essential personnel should report to work.
  • According to the National Weather Service weather report, we’re going to stay cold and possibly frozen for a couple of days:

    Today…sunny. Breezy this morning. Highs in the 20s. North wind 15 to 25 mph easing to 10 to 15 mph by midday.

    Tonight…mostly clear. Lows 8 to 15. Variable wind to 10 mph.

    Wednesday…partly sunny. Highs near 30. South wind to 10 mph.

    Wednesday night…mostly cloudy. Lows in the 20s. South wind near 10 mph.

    Thanksgiving Day…rain likely…possibly beginning as snow in the morning. Highs in the mid 30s to lower 40s. South wind 10 to 15 mph.

    Thursday night…rain likely. Lows in the upper 30s.
