One to three inches of snow are expected to fall on the area throughout the day, before possibly giving way to freezing rain, rain or sleet, the weather service said. “Snowfall accumulations may be heavier in the Seattle Metro Area and extend into the evening hours if the warm air moving in from the south arrives slower than expected,” the weather service said. A winter weather advisory remains in effect until 6 p.m. (9 p.m. ET). “Expect snow-covered roads and limited visibilities, and use caution while driving,” the weather service said. Some areas around the Seattle area were covered in more than 10 inches of snow on Saturday, almost giving the city more snow in one day than it usually gets in a year. Radar Update: Today's system moving steadily north. Snow now into the southern #Seattle metro area. Temperatures: continue to inch their way up. Southwest Washington already seeing rain. Forecast for snow totals hinges on that northward push of warmth. #wawx #wasnow pic.twitter.com/5fEIls1zWX — NWS Seattle (@NWSSeattle) February 11, 2019 Winter storm warnings have been issued for other areas, where heavy snow is expected Monday night into early Tuesday. The areas are “the Strait, the northern interior, the mountains, the East Puget Sound Lowlands, and the interior from southern Snohomish County northward,” forecasters say. Snow will be particularly heavy around Bellingham, south Snohomish County and the East Puget Sound Lowlands. The South Washington Cascades may see up to 36 inches of snow through Monday and into Tuesday morning, as a winter storm warning stays in effect, the weather service said. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. By midweek, CNN meteorologist Pedram Javaheri said, it could get gradually warmer with a few sunbreaks possible.

Here's why Correction: The story has been updated to correct the spelling of David Holston's last name. (CNN) — Seattle has been suffering through its snowiest February in 70 years, with accumulations of up to 10 inches in some places. But all that white has meant green for one young man with a snowplow, who says he made $35,000 in four days. Want more inspiring, positive news? Sign up for The Good Stuff, a newsletter for the good in life. It will brighten your inbox every Saturday morning. David Holston, 18, works as a landscaper and plowing snow in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Holston was in Seattle visiting his mother, who was recovering from surgery. “I was in the hospital when my friend Steve called me and gave me the idea of bringing my plow truck to Seattle,” Holston said. The next day he set up a Craigslist ad offering to plow snow in Seattle. When he received a job offer for $1,000, he decided to drive his plow-truck back to Washington when he went to be with his mom for her birthday. “After the [birthday] party, I hit the road with jobs lined up until midnight. All during that time, I was answering my phone and adding new customers to my snow route for Monday,” Holston said. Holston received calls to clear snow-covered driveways and parking lots, and said he plowed 15 sites over four days last week. At rates of $500 to $750 an hour, he said he brought in $35,000. Holston said he plans to donate 20% to his church, buy some lawn equipment, and will save the rest to put toward his first house. Holston credits his faith for his success and said his theme Bible verse for the trip is Luke 12:31: “But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.” He said, “The Lord blessed me with the money for the sole purpose of advancing his kingdom. All of the glory goes to God!”<doc-sep>
Weather Serious Snow Possible On Monday In Seattle Area, Forecasts Show There's a chance we could get up to 6 inches, according to one very reliable weather model. Reply (Patch file photo/Neal McNamara) SEATTLE, WA - The very snowy February in Puget Sound isn't over yet. A highly reliable forecast model is predicting a serious snow event for the region on Sunday and Monday, with up to 6 inches possible. That prediction is coming from the European Center forecast model. The model shows light to moderate snow moving into the Seattle area on Sunday and continuing possibly as late as midnight Monday. "[T]he European model is historically the most accurate, time and time again. Although not perfect, it did the best of all major weather models (US, Canada) in estimating snowfall totals during early February," Seattle Weather Blog forecaster Justin Shaw said Friday. The European model actually shows about 10 inches in the area by Monday morning, but Shaw says 6 inches is more realistic because the snow will be wet, and temperatures will be hovering around freezing. SNOW UPDATE This morning's European weather model clobbers #Seattle with 6+ inches of snow on Monday. Will it verify? It's late in the season and the snow will be wet. May not stick to main roads. Time of day when it falls will mean everything. — Seattle Weather Blog (@KSeattleWeather) February 22, 2019 UW meteorologist Cliff Mass also sees the potential for serious snow on Sunday and Monday. "Sunday afternoon, a new snow event threatens, with the potential for several inches," he wrote on his blog Thursday. "Stay tuned." The National Weather Service's forecast is a little more conservative. They are calling for rain and snow before 4 p.m., and just a 20 to 30 percent chance of snow between Sunday night and Monday.
