Part 2/6:
In downtown Olympia, a mere dusting was spotted on the streets, with 0.5 to 1 inch of snow accumulating on the grass. However, the conditions were inconsistent: some areas appeared damp and warm, while others retained snow cover. Notably, on a stretch of I-5 near the Steilacoom exit, motorists encountered more substantial flakes and a comparable accumulation on the grass.
Travelers are advised to remain cautious, as certain roadways may have icy patches despite being primarily wet. “The best tip is just to be ready for anything,” Jadrin remarked, urging drivers to factor in extra time for their journeys and to proceed with caution given the potential for slick conditions.
