Olympia-area drivers advised to stay home if possible amid snow

A historic snowstorm is expected to aim its greatest intensity on the Olympia area and Southwest Washington on Wednesday, dumping 6 to 14 inches of snow and possibly freezing rain before its retreat.

“It looks like you’re kind of in that battle zone,” said Ted Buehner, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Seattle, which issued a winter storm warning for nearly all of Western Washington.

Although snow showers in recent days have left uneven accumulations, everyone in Western Washington is forecast to feel the effects of this storm.

“This is a widespread, major-impact-type event,” Buehner said in a news conference Tuesday afternoon. “We’ve got pretty high confidence in how this is going to play out.”

Buehner, among others, advised staying home Wednesday. Driving on interstates likely will be hazardous. Secondary roads should be treacherous to impassable. Extreme wind chills are possible to the north, and flight delays and cancellations are likely, he said.
