Western Whatcom County ⬇️⬇️
This means that roads will also refreeze tonight creating another difficult travel morning. Crews will be out again overnight treating the roads. Please plan ahead.

[Whatcom County Public Works @WhatcomCoPWA]

It’s a ‘don’t go out unless you have to’ type of day. We have crews working around the clock, but ongoing snowfall makes travel conditions difficult! Please be extra cautious while driving and give plows plenty of room.

The second atmospheric river of the season is forecasted to bring heavy rains to our region Friday. At this time, the river is expected to crest below flood stage. Check the current weather forecasts and projected Nooksack River levels on our website at https://t.co/gMffRNQt8Z.

Well the rain finally made it about a hour and half ago, and I believe it looks like it’s socked in for the rest of the day. Drive safe out there and keep an eye out for your Whatcom County Road Crew mowing the shoulders on S. Samish Way at N. Lake Samish this afternoon.

All good in the neighborhood this morning! But look like snow in the forecast for the weekend!

[WSDOT North @wsdot_north]

Both directions of I-5 in Bellingham will remain CLOSED overnight due to flooding & active slides threatening the highway. NB will be closed at Nulle Road (milepost 246) and SB at North Lake Samish (milepost 244). We will reassess in the AM.

Gov. Jay Inslee signed a statewide proclamation for a STAY-AT-HOME order

The state says although some call this a “shelter in place,” that is not what this is: it is still safe to go outside, grocery store & other essential businesses also remain open. @KIRO7Seattle #Washington

[WSDOT North @wsdot_north]

@wspd7pio We've got trees down, mud in the road, damaged guardrail & need to assess the stability of the slope. @wspd7pio is clearing stuck traffic but not letting additional through. NB I-5 is blocked. Consider delaying discretionary trips or expect delays.

@WWU closed for the day due to snow in Bellingham

[NWS Seattle @NWSSeattle]

Heavy snow is tapering off but AM commute is going to be rough along the Strait, around the Hood Canal & in the interior north of about Mt Vernon. If you don't have to travel this morning, stay put. If you do, be prepared for hazardous driving conditions! #wawx

[Abby Acone @abbyacone]

Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia and Everett were primarily spared from most of the snow overnight. HOWEVER, heavier totals stacked up in the Kitsap Peninsula, over Port Angeles and the NW Interior. This will wind down the next couple of hours - more rain/snow this P.M. #wawx #KOMONews
