The National Weather Service is warning of a second round of snow, starting this Friday, Feb. 8.
While it may be a bit early to predict with certainty, UW Meteorologist Cliff Mass said this:
“There is going to be a major snow event over much of the Pacific Northwest starting late Friday and continuing into the weekend.
“A much larger snow event than occurred on Sunday night/Monday morning of this week. And one in which snow will be falling on a surface that is now cooled substantially.
“I have studied Northwest snowstorms for years and even co-authored a paper on the subject. What is forecast to occur late Friday and this weekend is absolutely classic.”
Mass also mentions another round of the white stuff possibly arriving Monday/Tuesday of next week:
“There is a second snow event on Monday/early Tuesday that doubles the snowfall in some locations. The accumulated snow through the weekend ending 4 AM Tuesday is shown below. We are talking over a foot of snow in central Puget Sound. Two feet in some of the foothills locations. Unbelievable.”
