Ice Storm Warning

The National Weather Service has issued an Ice Storm Warning until ~~noon~~ 2 p.m. today. That snow that fell yesterday now have a coating of ice over the top. You can see and probably hear the mini ice pellets coming down. That freezing rain is making conditions bad. The roads are icy and officials are urging people to stay home.

Here are live traffic cameras for Ballard:

Due to icy conditions, there will be no residential garbage pickup in Seattle today, and only limited commercial service.
