Snow Showers, Slick Bellevue Streets A Possibility for Friday's Commute
As Bellevue Patch blogger John Locatelli asked last week, " Snow, here? "
It's beginning to look a lot like winter around the Puget Sound region, with rain and possible snow tonight and Friday morning.
Even if snowflakes do fall, the National Weather Service says little or no accumulation is expected. While you might not want to take out your snow boots and sleds, you might want to be careful in your morning commute, with rain and snow showers possible before 10 a.m.
As temperatures drop, the "s" word is also on the tip of many people's tongues. The National Weather Service has issued a special weather statement saying snow is "possible" over the East Puget Sound lowlands Thursday night and Friday.
Friday's forecast for Bellevue predicts the snow level will drop from 1,000 to 400 feet, a level that's below some parts of the Somerset neighborhood. Temperatures are also expected to be quite chilly, with overnight lows in the high 20s and low 30s beginning Thursday evening and continuing through Saturday night.

City of Bellevue warns of slick streetsAlthough significant snow accumulations aren't predicted for Bellevue roads, there is a chance of slushy short- term snow accumulations on hills down to 500’ to 800’ elevation. Snow at higher elevations is predicted to begin late Thursday afternoon, with possible icy road conditions early Friday and early Saturday.
City crews will be working as needed Thursday night and in preparation for Friday’s morning commute. If conditions warrant and ice remains predicted for Friday night, crews will apply anti-icer to known icing locations and bridge decks on Friday.Waste Removal Bellevue - News
