first snow of the season, not much, but enough to make a mess

Woke up to some light snow sunday, amounted to about 2-3″ but combined with the super cold temperatures we have been having it made the roads pretty ugly around here. I-5 near Stanwood was a mess with probably 15-20 cars involved in accidents. Took a quick drive to survey the situation:

As the day went on the snow stopped falling, but the roads around Granite Falls remained pretty slick. Grabbed some video of the roads and snow around the area:

Not sure if we have more coming, I love snow but it pretty much kills the ability to get around out where I live. It takes the road crews a while to get out this way, making it pretty much 4×4 only if you want to drive with confidence.
