The National Weather Service issued a Winter Weather Advisory for Monday night into Tuesday morning Feb. 28 calling for more snow. After a nightmare commute home on Monday afternoon complicated by an overturned gas filled tanker truck on I-5 which led to a city wide traffic snarl a powerful burst of thunder snow made conditions even worse just as the commute began. THe morning may bring new challenges.
Here's the forecast:
...WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 4 AM PST TUESDAY...
* SNOW ACCUMULATIONS...1-3 inches possible tonight. The heaviest accumulations will likely be above 300 feet in elevation or under intense showers. Locations near the water will generally see very light accumulations as snow will be mixed with rain.
