Snow continues to fall in the Puget Sound region, but some forecasts expect the majority of the snow to stop by about 1 p.m.
In Sammamish, snow continues to fall and a few inches are on the ground. While snow amounts are enough to be annoying, they are far less than the 6-14 inches predicted a few days ago.
Roads are slippery and officials recommend not driving unless it’s absolutely necessary.
Both school districts are closed, and neither has announced a decision about school tomorrow.
The city has kept its parks open, for people who want to enjoy the snow, but the parking lots have been closed, according to the city website. Officials say that in the past, people have driven into the parks to do doughnuts in the snow, which has damaged city property.

And don’t get too used to the snow. Forecasts call for rain Friday to wash it all away.
