The snow routes stick primarily to roads that are maintained by the City of Seattle — stop locations and times can differ, and no door-to-door pickups will happen unless prearranged.

The school district says they mailed letters to parents in November detailing the snow routes — call 206-252-0900 to find out where those routes are for each area.

Temperatures are supposed to head back to mild tomorrow with a predicted high of 40 degrees, but another snowstorm seems to be in the works for Friday and Saturday, with varying snowfall predictions.

Preliminary but Uncertain Friday – Saturday #wasnow estimates:
❄️~1" along the coast & SW interior
❄️A few inches in the north interior
❄️3-6" around the Sound
❄️6+" in the Cascades
Very possible a few spots see little to no snow and that some areas see more than 6". #wawx
