Does it snow in Seattle

Answer 1

Seattle's climiate is described as being Oceanic with faily mild, wet winters and dry summers. The precipitation for the city is 37.1 inches (942 mm). Seattle has about 150 days of precipitation.

Answer 2

Yes, in the winter it does snow there.

Seattle averages 13 inches of snow annually. It actually snowed in two Seahawks games in Seattle. One of them was the Monday Night game against the Packers back in 2006 and the other one was the game against the Jets a year ago. Coincidentally, both were against Brett Favre:)

Snow does occur, but it is rare considering how low Seattle is in elevation. Puget Sound maintains a year round temperature of 50 degrees fahrenheit which acts as a heater in the winter and an A/C in the Summer. When it does snow and the snow sticks, it can shut down the whole city because the wet snow quickly turns to ice and the city has many hills.

Answer 3

Because of its position on the coast, and behind a mountain range, Seattle's weather is very temperate, seldom dropping below 30 degrees, or above 85. In the summer, the days are generally clear and beautifully warm.

Autumn and winter (and spring, to a degree) tend to be overcast. It does rain, but not in the fashion of the east coast. Seattle rain tends to be more of a 'mist' which one can walk in for quite a ways before actually getting wet.

Answer 4

Seattle does receive snow, but it is not common. Snowfall usually occurs a few times during the winter months, but the amount of snow is typically light and does not last long before melting. The city is more known for its rainy and mild winter climate.
