Viewers in Custer and Birch Bay said they had some of the heaviest snow they had ever seen.

Winter weather advisories are in effect for the threat of dangerous travel through 1 p.m. for:

1. The San Juan Islands

2. Western Skagit and Whatcom counties

3. The foothills east of Seattle: Monroe, Snoqualmie and Maple Valley

4. The south Sound: Tacoma, Olympia and Puyallup

5. The Chehalis Valley into southwest Washington

6. Hood Canal area

Scattered passing snow showers will continue Monday. They’ll be off-and-on and hit-or-miss but will create additional slippery sections on roads as temperatures are below freezing Monday morning.

There’s also a cold wind. Woodinville, Enumclaw, the San Juan Islands, Forks, and La Push are under a cold weather advisory for wind chills dipping into the teens. In Bellingham, the cold will be even more bitter. Wind chills drop into the single digits and the cold weather advisory lingers through Wednesday.

Additional snow poses a longer-lasting risk of slippery conditions through Tuesday morning. As a result, areas near coastal beaches and the Strait of Juan De Fuca will have a winter weather advisory through Tuesday.

Be prepared for slippery conditions through Tuesday.

A few lingering snow flurries will briefly pop back up later this week. It may be 10 days or so before temperatures warm.
