Even though we’re just weeks from spring, some Puget Sound area residents awoke to snow on the ground Tuesday.
“SeaTac reported a little snow,” said Doug McDonnal with the National Weather Service. “Renton reported some snow earlier. We’ve had a little snow out toward Issaquah.”
Some schools issued alerts for late starts on Tuesday.

McDonnal said drivers shouldn’t be impacted too much by the snow.
“I think the temperatures are just marginally cold and road surfaces are so wet I really don’t think any snow will stick on roads,” said McDonnal.
KING 5’s Rich Marriott said any showers will turn to rain in the afternoon.
Forecasters predict rain and wind for the rest of the week.
