According to the , the snowfall throughout the plains could be historic. As much as 25 inches may pile up, with the heaviest amounts falling across east-central Minnesota and west-central Wisconsin.

Here in the Puget Sound area, NWS says it does not expect the snow to accumulate more than an inch anywhere outside the Olympic Peninsula.

But temperatures could dip below freezing north of Seattle, and that could lead to patches of ice on the road.
