... Winter Storm Warning in effect until 4 am PST Monday...

The National Weather Service in Seattle has issued a Winter Storm
Warning... which is in effect until 4 am PST Monday. The Winter
Weather Advisory is no longer in effect.

An additional 3 to 6 inches of snow is expected through tonight in
the Puget Sound lowlands and the lower Chehalis valley. A few
isolated locations could receive as much as 8 inches. Snowfall
amounts will be variable from location to location.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Winter Storm Warning for heavy snow means significant snowfall
is occurring or imminent. Snowfall intensities will be heavy
enough to reduce visibilities to near zero at times.

... Record low temperature set at Seattle-Tacoma WA Airport...

A record low temperature of 14 degrees was set at Seattle-Tacoma WA
Airport yesterday. This ties the old record of 14 set in 1990.

... Record daily maximum snowfall set at Seattle-Tacoma WA Airport...

A record snowfall of 3 inches was set at Seattle-Tacoma WA Airport
yesterday. This breaks the old record of 1.7 set in 1951.

It would be an exaggeration to claim I made this post just so I could quote Heinlein's horrible pun... but not much of one.
