There were multiple reports of snow falling around Seattle, with the National Weather Service saying “snowy, difficult travel” should be expected on local roads.
A “seemingly endless” pattern of low pressure fronts from the Pacific were striking the west coast with cold storms expected through midweek, federal forecasters said.
Snow was also reported in the Portland, Oregon, area, where “cold arctic air” was moving in, forecasters said.
Recent forecasts show at least an inch of snow is likely to fall Sunday in the Seattle and Portland regions, which don’t typically see snow.
There was “heavy, intense snowfall” Saturday in the Tahoe Basin and in Reno, Nevada, the local weather service office said. For the second day in a row Interstate 80 was closed near Donner Summit, the California Highway Patrol said. Low visibility was blamed.
Bands of rain and thunderstorms moved through the Bay Area on Saturday. A flood advisory for San Francisco was canceled in the late afternoon.
Snow covered roughly a fourth of the nation Saturday, and eventually made a promised return to the foothills of California, where plummeting temperatures and a new band of moisture produced palm tree-adjacent snow by late night.
As temperatures start to drop, cities and counties across the region are opening severe weather shelters for people who need to get out of the cold and snow this week.
Shelby said it is likely that southwest Washington and the north valleys of Oregon will see between an inch and 3 inches of snow through midnight Sunday – including the Portland/Vancouver area and higher in the hills.
Salem will also likely see 1 to 3 inches of snow south to Eugene, which could see anywhere from 3 to 5 inches.
The Columbia River Gorge could see 2 to 8 inches, with higher amounts of snow in areas above 500 feet of elevation.
The Coast Range will also see 2 to 8 inches of snow, and the Cascades could see anywhere from 8 to 15 inches of blowing and drifting snow.
Monday is shaping up to be dry and cold, Shelby said, with a few more snow showers at sea level on Tuesday.

The overall objective here, on top of our is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours – is the use of the existing YouTube social graph on any subject in the World. Now, news is reported with a smartphone and also by promoting current content on YouTube: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary, or having a camera crew to shoot what is already on YouTube. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
