It’s been whispered about for days – but this morning snow was reported mixed with rain in Marysville, and by Friday it could well be on the ground in Maple Leaf.
Arctic air from Canada is expected to move south on Thursday night, driving the snow level in some places down to 500 feet or even sea level, according to the National Weather Service.
Maple Leaf tops out at 466 feet, but we’re also close to the Puget Sound Convergence Zone that typically forms along the King-Snohomish border.
KOMO News puts it this way this morning: “Friday will be the coldest day since late February with daytime temperatures barely breaking into the 40s.
Yes, if you are lucky, you may wake up to a dusting of snow on either Friday or Saturday morning.
No, this isn’t the last snow chance we’ll see… so don’t be too bummed if you miss the snow this time.
Don’t expect much accumulation, though.
