2012 Snowstorm Hits Snohomish County

This week has been a total weather mess in Western Washington. It started for us in Snohomish County on Monday morning, light snow accumulated quickly to a few inches. It got worse each day, by Wednesday I had over 10" of snow at my house. The driving conditions in rural Snhomish County were terrible, with compact snow and ice making for difficult commutes.

On Tuesday I drove around and got a few decent photos of the snow around Eastern Snohomish County- here are some of my favorites (click for larger size):

Winter finally arrives in Snohomish County

Over the last couple days we have had our first taste of snow in Snohomish County. Saturday it hit pretty fast up in Everett and the Lake Stevens, Snohomish and Monroe areas. I took a drive to see how the conditions were, despite just 3 inches or so it still managed to put lots of cars into ditches and minor collisions. 

I grabbed some video and shots over the past couple days, apparently the worst is coming Tuesday and Wednesday, we'll wait and see.
