Spokane gets first significant winter snowfall
The mixture of snow and below-freezing temperatures combined to create hazardous road conditions in some areas of Spokane Wednesday night and Thursday morning – notably on residential streets and intersections near downtown, where large sheets of ice stuck around. Along highways, Interstate 90 and city arterials and hills, however, the roadways were mostly bare and wet after snowplows worked throughout the night.

Kate, Bryan and Sibyl are visiting from Southern California and they said young Sibyl was especially excited to get out in the snow.
