It started around noon as a rain-snow mix. Then at 1 p.m., it changed to snow. And a half-hour later, it began to stick around our Ballard home. So we jumped in the SUV with the camera and ran up to Phinney Ridge.
The snow is sticking on the roadways.
Woodland Park Zoo looks like a winter wonderland.
Near 8th Ave. on the Ballard side (can’t remember exactly where).
Then as soon as we drove west of 15th Ave., the snow stopped. Barely a flake on the ground at Market and Ballard. Meanwhile, in “Upper Ballard” and Phinney Ridge, the snow is still falling (as of 2:45 p.m.) But the forecast says it should be turning to rain by later this afternoon.
Update at 3:15: It looks like the snow has stopped falling.

Same deal here. We’re on one of West Seattle’s higher hills so it’s not a big shock, but the Weather Service says maybe more tonight …

Large flakes in West Seattle as well.
And it’s snowing too!

There is no 72nd and Dibble. I live on the corner of 73rd and Dibble and the next block down is 70th to the south and 75th to the north.
Not sure where the pic was taken, I don’t recognize it, but maybe the snow made you disoriented?

Hmm, I knew I should’ve written down where I took it. It was in that general area. Thanks for pointing that out, I’ll clarify in the post.
