SEATTLE More than a foot of snow has fallen at Snoqualmie Pass since Tuesday night the opening salvo in series of storms that promise to bring even more heavy snow events to the mountains over the next week.
The eastbound lanes of I-90 at Snoqualmie Pass were closed for much of the morning Wednesday due to several spinous close to the summit before reopening at noon. The closure culprit? Trucks that did not chain up, WSDOT officials tweeted. The hill on eastbound I-90 is very steep which is why it is very important to chain up when required or consider chaining up even if you have AWD/4WD.

SEATTLE A trio of soggy storm systems are poised to race through the Pacific Northwest over the next four days bringing heavy rains and periods of gusty winds, with enough rainfall in the mountains for potential river flooding.
The first storm will roll in Friday, with a second, stronger storm due in later Saturday into Sunday. A third storm completes the rainy hat trick on Monday.
The winds will be rather old hat for typical late autumn storms but the rains could be heavy enough to trigger widespread flooding on rivers in the Cascade and Olympic Mountains.
