Winter Weather Advisory Remains in Effect

From the Portland National Weather Service

...Snow will continue to impact SW WA throughout this evening. Snow showers are diminishing except along the I-5 Corridor from Kalama to Castle Rock. Expect showers to be spotty through the remainder of the evening elsewhere then taper off tonight as drier and even colder air moves into the region.
The Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect this evening. Moderate snow showers will continue along the I-5 corridor this evening before tapering off. Weather Spotters have reported over 4 inches of snow in the last 4 hours in Longview. An additional inch or two is still possible from Kalama to Castle Rock.
Visibilities will be reduced to a quarter mile at times. Roadways are icy and snow covered resulting in slick driving conditions. Temperatures will fall into the upper teens tonight and will cause widespread re-freezing problems on area roadways.

Bottom line: If you don't have to drive...DON'T! If you do...be careful out there!
