UPDATE below:
Just got an email from some people in Maple Falls, it is snowing up there. Just a dusting but the first snowfall of the season and it is a month early!
Cliff Mass nails it - from Cliff Mass Weather and Climate Blog
Snow Expected over Western Washington
The first real blast of cold air will reach western Washington with substantial snow in the mountains, where the snow level will descend to approximately 1000 ft. There could even be some snow reaching sea level in some very favored locations, such as Bellingham and Port Angeles, downstream of the Fraser River Gap in the Cascades.
In any case, this will be the coldest air over the region since last January, so be prepared.
Seattle is blustery and low 40°'s. The Fraser River gap is a major conduit for cold air coming from Canada and Maple Falls sits right in one of the major outflows.
