12:45 p.m. update: The snow is still falling, and the wind is kicking up, which is creating mini-blizzards as snow falls from trees and rooftops. We drove through Ballard’s surrounding neighborhoods to snap some photos. All in all, traffic is moving smoothly, but the roads are still very slick.
This is Fremont Ave. going down the hill into Fremont.
The Lenin statue covered in snow.
The bus stop in front of the Lutheran Church on Greenwood Ave.
The intersection of Greenwood and 85th with a man toting a Christmas tree. See more snow photos in nearby neighborhoods on PhinneyWood, FremontUniverse, MagnoliaVoice and QueenAnneView.
