Snow continues to fall near Stevens Pass this morning and a heavy snow warning remains in effect over the Cascade Range through 11 a.m.
Heavy snow was falling this morning west of the pass from Skykomish to Scenic with lighter snow at the pass, said Jeff Adamson, a state Department of Transportation spokesman.
Monday night, a snowplow driver worked to clear slush off the road, Adamson said.
“It has been about 30 years since they actually put a plow blade to the pavement in June on Stevens,” he said.
Snow is causing problems for people driving over the state’s mountain passes, according to the National Weather Service in Seattle.
Around seven inches of snow fell at Snoqualmie Pass overnight, Adamson said.
The snow is expected to taper off today.
In the lowlands, people should expect rain to remain in the region overnight.
Spring-like conditions are expected to return later this week with partly sunny skies and temperatures in the mid-60s, the weather service said.
